david: so, ken starr, is that evidence of inciting a riot?tirety of the speech. it was not inciting. i think there are first amendment free speech issues. you can criticize the fact of the speech, but to suggest this was an insurrection, i think, is quite extravagant. but there's a fundamental question here, david, as you know. your prior guest talked about that, and there really is no authority of the senate to proceed in light of the fact that the house impeachment article was not delivered to the house, to the senate from the house when the president of the united states was the president of the united statesment -- states. so there's this total incongruity between what the article of impeachment says and then the status of the former president. he's a private citizen, he should be left alone. david: i don't want to get too far in the weeds, but the pushback from democrats is that there was, in fact, an impeachment of, i believe, a judge a couple of hundred years ago -- [laughter] who wasn't actually convicted in that impeachment, but he h

mark: welcome back, judge ken starr., a good title. there are these efforts to skirt the constitution. you know progressivism and constitutionalism don't get along well, like oil and water. and progressivism, is an ideology that seeks to find ways to get around the constitution. we constitutionalists are trying to find ways to uphold the constitution, one of most important things discussed at constitution. convention is who is in charge of the votes system, state insist we're in charge of how people vote. within very general parameters. they created a federal government, they had been in charge of everything before. we have article. state legislator decide how elections are to be held, and electors chosen, nancy pelosi announces began a few weeks ago, one of her top priorities, hr 1, house resolution one, a massive federal government takeover of state voting system, not civil rights and that. but we're talking about what time people show up, how they vote. where they vote. whether they can to mail in voting, singtures an

great to see everybody, ken starr, talk to me about what the defense needs to do today after watchingaughs] they are going to run the play call, the first amendment of free speech and allow some technical arguments about, hey, you showed really bad things happen and you showed it in a very powerful way but excuse me, did you indicts those people? know, you impeach someone who is now the former president of the united states. and let's now analyze what he said. it's not what did the president know what it he noticed, what did the president say and also a comparison with the inflammatory rhetoric of chuck schumer and the whole litany of go out and do things, fight hard and so forth, remember hillary rodham clinton, i will fight for you. let's interpret that, this had a different meaning but then it comes a matter of interpretation and the house managers will lose on the first amendment. i believe, i believe they should lose on the first amendment side. i hope that the defense team will not lose sight of the fact that so many of us, i know there are a lot on the other side, think the who

[laughter] the answer is emphatically not. the text of the constitution to me is absolutely clear that judgment and cases of impeachment runs to what removal and possible disqualification. and so a former officer by definition can't be remostmoved that's the text. the text is supported by our constitutional history. the only president in history to have resigned is richard nixon and i think is all your viewers know either from history or living through it that president nixon upon resignation flew to san clemente california and that was it. the house of representatives which was considering articles of impeachment then stop the proceeding. the th

joining us is ken starr. ken, as a former appellate court judge in the d.c. court yourself should this be considered odd or a potential conflict or is this just the way it goes in that crazy place on capitol hill? >> it's even worse. it's a blatant due process violation. the english speaking world, certainly the united states of america, you get a fair trial by having a presiding officer, a judge, who is unbiased. and that's the reason that the constitution built in the specific provision for the chief justice of the united states to preside. but of course the house managed to allow the president of the united states to leave. they could have brought the articles over and the trial begun and the chief justice would have presided. this is a violation of due process. >> laura: and can senator ed markey -- he says, well, impeachment is the only option. >> we don't have a historic constitutional option not to have this trial. we don't have a choice. otherwise, future presidents, future office holders will feel as though they can act with impunity. >> we do not ha

to ken starr the former whitewater independent counsel, fox news contributor. as you know, things can take a sharp turn and your investigation came up with an intern discovery here. leave that aside, barring surprises and barring others we don't see, where does this go? >> i assume that there will be an acquittal by a very significant margin, given that a two-thirds vote is required. and many of those will be voting to acquit will be voting to acquit on constitutional grounds, not on the facts of january 6th for the very reasons that have already been stated, neil. this is, in my judgment, an unconstitutional process that's about to unfold in the senate, under the text of the constitution. so leave politics aside, and even leave the facts aside. let's look at the text of the constitution and the text talks about removal. judgment and cases of impeachment shall not extend further than removal from office and then disqualification. so the tail is wagging the dog here and the house allowed the president to leave. he didn't run away, as did secretary bellnap their f

>> laura: ken starr vehemently disagreed with that last night on the show and said, it is entirely significant that the chief justice declined to be part of this. your take? >> welcome the first of all, chief justices do not like to sit on impeachment trials. that was obvious a generation ago when justice rehnquist had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the clinton impeachment. with the last impeachment, president trump also puts the chief justice in an uncomfortable position. but the fact that this chief justice properly reads the constitution that they cannot impeach -- they cannot convict a former president is very significant. otherwise since president trump as the president was impeach, they are going to try home if, in fact, there was a constitutional basis for the trial, the chief justice would be sitting in that chair. the fact he is not is very significant. >> laura: congressman nunes, house impeachment managers played video of the violins on january 6th. they produced quite a presentation. it included a very disturbing moment. i have to warn our viewers, it's graphic. watch. >> l

ken starr, fox news contributor joins us now. good morning to you. the attorneys for the president have been widely -- former president widely panned. did you think they were as awful as some have suggested? >> hey, 11th commandment lawyers don't criticize one another unless you are really on the other side. david schoen was very effective actually. i would certainly disagree with that. i didn't think the opening was particularly strong. but here is the key. the house managers were extraordinarily effective at inflaming passions. that video professionally done hollywood style video was one to make you get up and be really angry. but it was not a dispassionate, in fact jamie raskin said we're not here to talk about the law. they did talk about the law. i think they did a very good job. here is my key point, bill. the text of the constitution. i know there are conservative scholars who disagree with this but every literate member of the audience can pull the constitution and read the key sentence, judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend furth

jonathan turley, george washington university law professor and ken starr former independent counsel. requires the possibility of removal from office without that possibility there cannot be a trial. is he right, jonathan? >> well, this is a very close question, even those of us who have resolved it on one side or the other. depends what your national default is. you have to go with the text of the constitution which being the removal of the president in a trial presided by the chief justice of the united states. you'll notice the per
