I understand your sentiment but I think you should preface your statement with “it seems to me” or “I think” or IMO. Because there are White House and Senate lawyers as well as constitutional attorneys like Mark Levin who say the Senate can set a deadline followed by conditions for not meeting the deadline, then dismiss based on failure to prosecute.

It’s analogous to a prosecutor obtaining indictments, then claiming they’ll prosecute when they damn well want to. This violates the right of the accused to a speedy trial. If and when it goes to SCOTUS, it should be a clear ruling the Constitution did not intend that impeachment be treated like a play thing. It is an emergency process to prevent harm to the nation.

Nah. Too sure of my knowledge and facts.

As I said, the Senate can set whatever rules they want for handling an Impeachment from the House in their trial.

I like my analogy in post #5.
