Shampeachment!

Noah Feldman, a professor at Harvard Law School, published an opinion piece in Bloomberg on Thursday arguing against the House Democrats withholding the articles of impeachment, thus preventing the Senate from holding a trial.

"Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution:

The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment.

The Senate must actually hold a trial," he argues. "If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president.

If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all."

Pelosi is old, mentally unbalanced and suffers from hangovers. That’s not conducive to rational actions.

Seems to me Pelosi is disenfranchising voters from her own caucus.

“Nancy Pelosi, What Are You Doing?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Undermining the Constitution as usual.
She is the one who falsely certified Obama as eligible.
Well, to Hawaii at least.

Nancy has maneuvered between her socialists (and the stupidity of their demands) and not impeaching Trump. She can say to the socialists they impeached Trump and she can say to the world they didn’t impeach Trump. But it is all too stupid by half. But there you have it. Depending on who she’s talking to: Trump is impeached and not impeached.

But it has taken a toll. She should be happy she can talk without stammering most of the time, and she should be happy that she’ll lose her wackadoddle hammer by next year. It couldn’t be better for Nancy for once her wackadoddle hammer is gone, the socialist like goblin whackamoles will eat her up... without a burp in between.

“Pelosi has bluffed her way into a loss.”
She always had a losing hand on impeachment, and she’s up against a much better poker player.

“...The only obligations left to them [the House] are to notify the Senate of their conclusions, name managers of the process, and allow the Republican-led chamber to reach a verdict...”

Federalist #65 - Alexander Hamilton

Regarding Pelosi's requirement for "fairness" and Ginsburg's claim of partisanship:


A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. The prosecution of them, for this reason, will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community, and to divide it into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused. In many cases it will connect itself with the pre-existing factions, and will enlist all their animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on one side or on the other; and in such cases there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt.

The delicacy and magnitude of a trust which so deeply concerns the political reputation and existence of every man engaged in the administration of public affairs, speak for themselves. The difficulty of placing it rightly, in a government resting entirely on the basis of periodical elections, will as readily be perceived, when it is considered that the most conspicuous characters in it will, from that circumstance, be too often the leaders or the tools of the most cunning or the most numerous faction, and on this account, can hardly be expected to possess the requisite neutrality towards those whose conduct may be the subject of scrutiny.

This sedition and traitorous behavior is getting to be too much. Arrest each of these bums-on-taxpayers’-teat losers. Give them a speedy trial. If guilty, seize their assets and the assets of their immediate criminal families and exile them for the rest of their malignant , worthless, acerbic lives. Enough already!

I never got the idea Pelosi wanted to impeach President Trump. She did it to keep control of her Party which is increasingly getting more radical.

She is weak, but as insane as most in her party.
