I would like to see the Senate notify the house that any articles of impeachment derived from an unfair partisan hearing process will be summarily dismissed by the Senate.

“I would like to see the Senate notify the house that any articles of impeachment derived from an unfair partisan hearing process will be summarily dismissed by the Senate”.

That’s an excellent point.

Well the Senate can dismiss the articles of impeachment, but it still requires a majority of the Senate to vote in favor of dismissal. Of course one assumes that would not be hard to obtain a majority. Dismissal would require 50 votes and Pence could break the tie. However, to acquit it takes only 34 votes.
