A number of days ago. Maybe they didn't report it on Fox? Pelosi is basically following the rules laid down by a Republican House, during the Obama administration, in anticipation of some impeachment that never happened.
Whatever...he has to follow the Constitution and that demands a trial by the Senate, upon being presented with a bill of impeachment by the House, which is the equivalent of an indictment.
Yeah...I watched Rush Limbaugh deliver the keynote address to the Young Conservatives Convention years ago. He quoted the Constitutional Preamble as containing the phrase "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" (from the Declaration of Independence) and received a standing ovation. Guess they're the same people, who grew up?
McConnell has already said we are ready to go, he will even hold the trial over the Thanksgiving break. Trump's triple dog dared you to impeach him, the only hold up is the Democrats who have been pushing this fight for 3 years, now that the GOP is telling them to squeeze or get off the pot, they are suddenly indecisive. FOLLOW THE MONEY: RNC raises record-setting $27.3 million in September, amid impeachment push. Impeachment is motivating conservatives, annoying moderates, and even has some lefties concerned. So clearly it’s been a big success, Come On Nancy!
He has already said that if the House impeaches trump, he will have no choice but to go forward with the trial. What you want to do is defeat the Constitution to save a thug criminal who has made a pathetic joke of the country. Why are you afraid of a fair trial in a Rep controlled Senate. You must KNOW in your heart that trump is guilty. And even worse, you are willing to trash the Constitution to save a criminal.
I doubt it will be ready for trial by Christmas...but who knows? The Committees have to report their findings to the House Judiciary Committee; a bill of impeachment has to be drawn up; it has to be passed out of committee; debated on the floor of the House and then voted upon. I expect the Senate trial to go a couple of weeks, depending on the presentation of the bill and the rebuttal by the Trump people, unless you think they'll move to a vote without a defense?
He speaks without notes or teleprompter, he meant the Declaration of Independence, it's the concept that was cheered. You noted this error as a way to support your false sense of superiority? Do you the Left's disdain for Americans, and don't think they haven't caught on, is causing Democrats difficulty at the ballot box? I want everyone in this room and every one of you around the country to succeed. I want anyone who believes in life, liberty, pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force, any person, any element of an overarching Big Government that would stop your success, I want that organization, that element or that person to fail. I want you to succeed. [Applause] Also, for those of you in the Drive-By Media watching, I have not needed a teleprompter for anything I’ve said. [Cheers and Applause ] And nor do any of us need a teleprompter, because our beliefs are not the result of calculations and contrivances. Our beliefs are not the result of a deranged psychology. Our beliefs are our core. Our beliefs are our hearts.
that may be but I fear leftist thugs burning down the country in the manner of the Antifa idiots. We might see the first time it was necessary that martial law was declared after an election.
Your simpleton hyperbole is meaningless. You would allow a man who is striving to be a dictator to assume control, because you hate Hillary. Typical trumper. Get over your Hillary fetish. She is history. And most dems didn't even like her much.
"Mitch McConnell to use his Senate Majority status and make a motion for a vote to Stop the current House Impeachment Inquiry by declaring his Senate will not abide a trial at this stage." I haven't read the whole thread and this ridiculous statement has probably been answered several times, but here goes. 1. Constitutionally the Houses are separate and have no authority over each other. 2. At this stage there is only an inquiry and no Bill of Impeachment 3 Again, Constitutionally, the Senate's involvement only begins when presented with a Bill of Impeachment. 4. Trying to stop the impeachment is not to McConnell's advantage. The quicker the impeachment the quicker he can torpedo it.
Urgency. Besides...Republicans will want it ASAP in order for Pence to have some time to draft his own campaign plan.
Fake News Nonsense. Democrats will first lose in the Senate and then be repudiated by the Electorate when Trump is reelected. You should have used your power to work for the American People. Not only haven't you laid a glove on Trump, but you blew up your front runner. Biden is clearly involved in a bribery scheme, and this wouldn't be national news if you weren't trying to impeach Trump with these phony claims about a phone call that we all have the transcript for.
That’s a great idea. Then Moscow Mitch and Donny Trumpov would both be exposed for the stooges they are and both would be crushed in the next election. Levin is a little pipsqueak and a nit wit. I hope The Borcht Brothers hire Levin to represent them. After all, look how good Rudy “the hand grenade” Guiliani is doing. I think another blow hard imbecile like Levin is exactly what’s called for here.
You couldn't soil Cantaloupe Caligula's reputation any more than he's done all by himself if you dropped it in an overflowing septic tank...
That justifies circumventing The Electorate because you hold The US Electorate in disdain? You don't think they are reading your message loud and clear?
