From the NYT:

Impeachment Rules Say Senate Must Act, but Its Act Might Be a Swift Dismissal

______

This birdcage lining newspaper chooses to write: “The fusty rules of the Senate make clear that Republicans could not unilaterally stonewall articles of impeachment of Mr. Trump …….”

FUSTY -- smelling stale, damp, or stuffy, "the fusty odor of decay", stale, stagnant.

The NEW YORK TIMES needs to be burned to the ground.
