“The Senate’s duty is clear. When the time comes, we must fulfill it.”

Senator McConnell just left every option open. Although this may be smart politics, it leaves our republic in a state of grave instability. These are extremely dangerous times for our nation. We have survived invasion and schism but this is potentially even more serious. One side of one branch of our government is attempting to destroy another branch. Where the civil war was a conflict between regions, this situation has the potential to escalate into an internal conflict which could permanently destroy the structure of our government from within. This impeachment needs to be resoundingly defeated as quickly and definitively as possible so that similar assaults are never again attempted.

Militia in other states are preparing to travel to Virginia sometime after Christmas...maybe months. I am resigned to preparation.
It’s more than the evil in the house. We can’t live with people like Schumer and Pelosi. They lie more smoothly than I thought was possible.
Our choice is also clear. We must save our republic.

It’s quite remarkable. We have a POTUS impeached for the four time in over 200 years of American history and the do-nothing GOP Senate continues on like it’s business as usual.

McConnelly’s inconsequential gum flapping today goes immediately into the dust bin of history. Is the Party of Lincoln headed there, too? With rudderless leaders like majority “leader” McConnell that seems increasingly likely.

I don't see it that way. I appreciated both of your posts but I diverge -- Turtle is a trap-setter. There wasn't a single "demand" in that 30-minute speech, in fact everything was there but the "demand".

I don't think I have to burden either of you with what the #Narrative would have been if McConnell had "demanded" the Articles be sent (and what would be the point anyway).

Instead the radio cuts in particular had to find McConnell's weakest argument, and there were none. CBSRadio and ABCRadio could only counter by letting Schumer's rehash of his yesterday stew play slightly longer. FoxNews well-received McConnell's entire speech.

NOW.

Lindsey was on Twitter today basically begging for a hook, and I gave it to him:

"Democrats are creating a #ConstitutionalCrisis by not sending the #ArticlesofImpeachment to the #Senate. Only a #House of ill repute would fail to abide by the instructions in the Constitution to timely deliver the Articles to the Senate!"
