“How many Republicans will help with this”
It’s irrelevant.
The sham impeachment, started against Bill Clinton, will now become the sole activity of the House of Representatives.
Just as it is unethical for a prosecutor to indict a citizen if the prosecutor is morally certain he can’t get a conviction, so too with these meaningless “impeachments”.
Most news consumers are stupid, get excited, and donate to their local swamp creatures over things like this.
Pro tip: This nonsense is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. There were not 67 Senators who would remove Thomas yesterday. Thereare not 67 who will remove him today. And there won’t be 67 who will remove him at any time in the future.
Well, it would help to not pay attention to them, and not to emit stupid war cries like posts 1-24 and I presume all the posts after yours (except mine of course).
Nothing is going to happen if Thomas, or Trump, or Obama, or Biden (I've even see people raving about Hunter Biden) are "impeached". Being "impeached" has ZERO judirical or political consequences - unless it helps the victim, as it did Bill Clinton.
This can only be turned into a news story IF AND WHEN the Senate takes the case, and the facts suggest that 67 votes for removal are possible.
This has not been the case in any of the last three Presidential "impeachments", and it CERTAINLY isn't the case with Mr. Justice Thomas.
It's simply another big grift opportunity for Conservative Inc., and it's depressing how many people here are salivating like Pavolv's dogs.
He only has to hold 34, presuming 50 Democrats vote to convict (which is unlikely).
Please explain how this nonsense could lead to that result.
Seriously.
I'm not picking on you, but I don't have time to ping all the others.
THOMAS IS NOT GOING TO BE REMOVED BY THE SENATE. NOT...NOT...NOT.
Without that, him being "impeached" is of no significance at all. Meaningless. Unimportant.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY "CONSERVATIVES" MONEY OVER THIS COMPLETELY UNIMPORTANT NON-STORY.
Unless 67 Senators voted to remove them, nothing.
He should do no such thing.
No House Republican should dignify this nonsense by participating.
Why?
That seems excessive for engaging in what amounts to mental masturbation.
More stupidity.
"Racist" is a meaningless word. Go ahead, define it.
There was also this:
Julianne Malveaux, a liberal black commentator, made this remark on the June 4, 1994 edition of a program on PBS: “You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease.” When conservative Betsy Hart protested, Malveaux wouldn’t back down. “Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.”
Said on a taxpayer-funded station, no less.
Also, in the Smithsonian African-American museum, Clarence Thomas is hardly mentioned:
Museum officials acknowledged that Thomas has ‘very little presence’ in any of the exhibitions.”'One of the few mentions of Thomas in the museum reads: ‘In 1991 Anita Hill charged Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas with sexual harassment.’
Nip this in the bud. Tell Chuck Schumer that if they pursue this, then the ‘Wise Latina’ is next, followed by Elana Kagan. You don’t win on defense; go on offense.
Chuck Schumer is a Senator.
This is happening in the House.
“That seems excessive”
For me that’s actually quite restrained.
This is why I hope (and think) that the Republicans will take both houses, though probably not with a 2/3 majority in the Senate.
Rino Romney for sure.
I realize that. But the trial would be in the Senate and after the mid-terms Schumer — if he’s still running the senate — will have to deal with a Republican House potentially rolling a series of impeachments at him. He needs to be put on notice because HE will be holding the bag for the remaining Democrats.
Pelosi purposefully denigrated the act of Impeachment.
In debasing and bastardizing the very strict Constitutional remedy of Impeachment, she broke down marxist nutroot House member fears of (a) doing it again, which they did; and future plans of (b) using it (and 25A) against Xiden.
Think about it, she was going to retire but they fear Trump so much that she re-enlisted as Minority Leader for 2023, to preserve her 'legacy' of raw exercise of power.
Every President will be impeached by the opposition party going forward, and now she wants to be around to claim credit.
That's absurd. Even you didn't know how many Supreme Court Justices subverted justice on behalf of their Democrat benefactors, during a late-century Democrat House reign where not a word was uttered there about "strengthening SCOTUS ethics".
You're afraid of a good fight, as usual.
I was imitating how lefties talk. Thomas is black ergo this is racist.
I knew when the GOP impeached Bill Clinton, there would be no end of mischief following on. This is getting tiresome.
