In December 2017 there were 126 Democrats who joined House Republicans to reject Rep. Al Green's impeachment resolution 364-58. A month later, a new resolution was introduced with similar results: Again, 121 Democrats voted to table. Support for impeachment rose from 58 votes in December to 66 in January.

With Democrats having won dozens of new seats, Rep. Green tried again just three months ago in July 2019. His impeachment resolution was one of four introduced in the 116th Congress. This time even more Democrats voted against an inquiry – 137 up from 121 in the previous Congress.

The House has explicitly voted against pursuing an impeachment inquiry, hence the current proceeding is invalid. Just because Speaker Pelosi decrees there is an impeachment inquiry doesn't make that inquiry valid. To the contrary, that motion was brought to the floor of the House and it failed three times. These are the seeds of a Constitutional crisis.

Democrats Cut Scalise Mic to Avoid Impeachment Question

Yesterday on the House floor the Democrats cut the microphone when Minority Whip Representative Steve Scalise was speaking. Congressman Scalise asked, “Has the House been authorized to conduct an impeachment inquiry into President Trump?”

Democrats only believe in democracy when they win.

No, IMHO, the democrats always believe in democracy, the 51% and mob rule.

What they do not believe in are the rights of the people and a republican form of government.

And there is one less vote now to imprach because Elijah Cummings is room temperature and there needs to be a special election to replace him.

“IMHO, the democrats always believe in democracy, the 51% and mob rule.

What they do not believe in are the rights of the people and a republican form of government.”

The media and Democrats, favorite words when discussing their view of American Government. “Our Democracy”. Just another lie on the lips of those who would enslave us if they could. I am beginning to think that even Democracy is NOT what they want to believe in, when tyranny is what they seem to desire, as you have so eloquently stated.

Jimmy actually built a Casino down here and it went bust so he put up a entertainment facility that caters to kids called “Margaritaville”,
Wouldn’t call myself a “Parrothead” but I do have some of his music.

The COUP continues-—with the identity of a Shape Shifter.
