The resolution expected Thursday would “address the process,” of ending the closed-door depositions “into a phase when we have public hearings.”

I think most on this forum have missed the significance. It sounds like Pelosi is planning on deeming the impeachment inquiry as already in progress. The Thursday vote is simply to "address the process". Thus, the Democrats in problem districts can claim that their vote of assent was to put a proper process in place in order to protect the President. This "spin" will convince the squeamish Democrats in problem districts to go along with the charade and assure Pelosi that she has the votes.

The squeamish Democrats are still in trouble and they know it. They even may have put the pressure on Hoyer to go brush up Dear Nancy.
