The last caller on Rush’s show today said that this would tie up the Senate in the event of a SCOTUS vacancy/nominee, leaving no opportunity for the Senate to take up the nomination.
Moreover, holding a trial would basically suspend any other action in approving other judiciary nominations.
Bingo. The “impeachment isn’t all that bad” crowd don’t get it. It will shut down the beltway for the final year of Trump’s first term. McConnell knows that. Yet he doesn’t do a thing to stop this impeachment train from gathering steam.
Earlier in his program I was happy to hear Rush was calling a spade a spade: This is a coup. He needs to me more clear: the GOP is aiding and abetting it.
McConnell knows that.
Mitch should state loud and clear that this bogus process will be DEAD ON ARRIVAL in the Senate.
The GOP is aiding and abetting it.
BTW, when is Lindsey Graham ever going to issue a subpoena to appear before his Judiciary Committee???
