    Anyone know if there is a burden of proof standard in impeachment trials?

    Cuz the GOP looks like they are going to apply a criminal standard.

    Verses the Democrats standard which is what? Hate?
    OBAMA'S H1N1 VIRUS: From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus.

    Why use proof and facts now? The last three years have been nothing but accusation and innuendo.

    It's not a court room, so I don't know what the standard is.

    In criminal court (In Michigan, at least), the standard is beyond a reasonable doubt. In Family Court (and maybe civil court, too), it is a preponderance of the evidence.

    But a lot of people get caught up in the reasonable doubt standard. It doesn't mean "absolutely no doubts". It says "reasonable doubts". There's a lot of leeway in there for personal interpretation.
