Senate Democrats are torn on the timing of an impeachment trial for President Trump, worried it could delay President-elect Joe Biden's agenda for a week or longer.
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) has proposed that the Senate could work on a dual track by processing Biden's Cabinet picks in the morning while holding a speedy impeachment trial for Trump in the afternoon, but Republicans don't seem interested in the idea and can easily block it.
This puts Democrats in the tricky spot of deciding whether to prioritize a second impeachment trial for Trump, which wouldn't begin until after he leaves office. This prospect of holding a trial after Trump becomes a private citizen is already drawing objections from Republicans who are questioning whether doing so is even constitutional.
Several Democrats argue that Biden's agenda should take first priority while others wonder if an impeachment trial, which could further poison the well of Senate collegiality, is even worth it at a time when they need Republican support to move Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief proposal.
"My clear preference is to create room for nominations and legislation. I'll defer to leadership but I don't know that we have to start the trial right after the inauguration," said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) called another impeachment trial of Trump a "moot question" because he's leaving office on Wednesday.

Or they could look into Feinsteen's Chicom driver. Just a thought.
Take the bait Nancy.
Impeachment trial for citizen Trump. Do we have those?
Unity...
We need to turn it into the Airing of Grievances, there are four years worth. This is how to play the game, shut down the Senate! Takes months to have the trial, make the Senate useless for a period of time. Numb the brains of the public with a long, long trial.
Get ready folks......Biden is going to have to go to work for real once in his useless life!!! Our enemies are going to have a ball with him and the left wing radical American groups will tear him apart. The country is in serious trouble, because Biden is weak, Pelosi is nuts and Schumer is no leader just another Democrat babbling momma’s boy!!!
But...fear not Democrats, the Republicans are worse off then you folks. With political traitors like Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Lisa Murkowski, GW Bush, Jeb Bush, etc., the GOP is a party dead-in-the-water, for a long time to come.
Sadly the American people have screwed themselves and now they will lay in the bed they chose for themselves. Yes, Virginia, my dear...as Barack Hussein Obama clearly states...and he is right on the money...elections do have consequences, even cheated ones!!! You folks better hope and pray that Trump forms a new political party, “The Patriots” or, America and your freedoms and liberties will soon be gone!!!
Faux POTUS, Democrat, criminal & corrupt politico, Joe Biden will not last in that office for more then two to six months, moron and buffoon that he is. For goodness sake no one was at his inauguration and very few people tuned in on TV and radio to list to his blabber!!!
They have a conundrum.
In a Senate trial they risk opening the Pandora’s Box regarding the vote. No trial..they WILL have to deal with Trump for the next 4 years. They haven’t quite grasped he fact that Trump is a “symptom” of something much bigger and greater under the waters.
This was Grand Theft Election...Biden caught 30-35 million-of 160 million votes at best. They should be worried
Prove me otherwise
the senate is forbidden by the constitution to do anything else until the impeachment is dealt with.
ROFL
I am guessing once liberals realize this, they will drop the stupid impeachment almost immediately.
This is in addition to several states where they've already automated the "vote".
Voters have been replaced by Dominion voting robots.
The grassroots-level Democrat voting coalition hasn't figured out the implications of this yet.
The Democrat Party no longer has to be responsive to its "voters" - which means that their "voters" are screwed.
I can’t remember what Trump did to get impeached? Both times.
very Soviet of the UniParty
