Schiff and Nadler are conducting themselves with great sleeze
The Dems do have two solid impeachable offenses:
Article 1: We hate you Donald Trump.
Article 2: We can’t beat you any other way Donald Trump.
President Trump is obviously guilty oin both counts.
The dems may schedule the minority hearing after the 1st of the year and AFTER the House impeaches Trump.
Republicans are correct, however, it doesn’t matter. We are in a state of lawlessness. The rules are whatever the Democrat majority says they are. At best, this is a delaying tactic by the Republicans. They are impeaching the President without cause anyway. It’s all a Stalinesque show trial.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
So far the Dems have used raw power to rule however they want. The Republicans will have to disrupt and stop the operation of the House in some manner to slow the steamroller.

MAGA!
Payback is a bitch, so I don’t envy the Democrats. Of course, first we’d have to elect some legislators with cajones to make that a reality.
If the GOP is able to retake the House next year, I don’t suppose they’ll be able to take disciplinary action against the actions of this bunch, will they? I kind of assume they can only do that for whatever session/term during which the violations occur.

“Top Republicans in the House are vowing to use every procedural tool available to them to strong-arm Democrats”
“Strong arm” is a pejorative. Thank you so much for trying to shape my belief system.
They brought this up each day of the hearings. Nads ignored them.
There have been several procedural “irregularities” including my spelling, but the worst problems are the constitutional processes which should be followed. Examples republicans not being able to call all witnesses. Schiff not allowing the whistleblower to appear. When the first serious rejection occurred, the republicans should have walked out. At this point, they are condoning this illegal process by participating in it.
The time has come for the repubs to just get up and leave. Let the dems do this without our participation.
The dems aren’t following any of the rules anyway. the entire thing is a sham. Get up and go home to your constituents.
Keep pushing back. Remember Burke’s axiom: “For evil to triumph, all that is necessary is for good men to do nothing.”
It looks like Nadler, Schiff, and Pelosi reference their allegiance to the constitution when it suits them, but violate it at the same time! Are they communists?
Do a press conference, swear in their witnesses, and hold their hearing. Do it on YouTube if necessary.
“threatens procedural measures”
Can we even fathom the level of excitement this creates with elected Republicans? They get to flex for their constituents, while not having to defend President Trump, but only the process. This is right up their ally. They get to cite obscure rules and esoteric legal principles, and crow about tradition and the Constitution. The Democrats have played right into their hands. An utterly boring event is about to get even worse.
Nadless to GOP: “Drop Dead!”
Junk politics...Hey, I like that....Junk politics!..F*ck the junk politics!
