I’m not following this. Once the Impeachment is voted down, is over. Are you saying they will continue to file impeachment efforts so it’s ongoing?

Sheesh... hello? Everything they have done to try and stop Trump since the freakin' election was about control of the Supreme Court.

Not just SCOTUS, but ANY nomination.

"THE DEMOCRAT LEADERS ARE DOING THIS IMPEACHMENT AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO KEEP THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF PRISON!"

He knew if he can amass enough sympathy he could get away with murder

You can bet, beyond a doubt that, from this point on, they would argue a President under impeachment can not appoint a Supreme.
But what if the Senate dismisses the articles of impeachment the day after it passes the House?

No way that flies.

anything he does to a dem will be seen was retaliation.

He should have indicted Hillary bin 2017 and investigated Biden in 2018 after he publicly confessed at the CFRT meeting.

Where are the dismissals or indictments of the FB agents involved in lying to the FISA court or Obama for signing the application based on unverified info?

I may be wrong, but I don’t believe a president can appoint a SCOTUS if he is currently under House or Senate Impeachment procedures.

. . . and if the House votes an article of impeachment every day?

 

 

Shhhh. Don't give them any ideas.

Bill Clinton was under subpoena when he nominated Stephen Beyer.

Impeachment is about getting at us, the non liberals.

Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.

The Democrat voters will not see retaliation.

They know this impeachment baloney isn’t about politics.

They are afraid that their Democrat leaders are going to go to prison for the crimes they’ve committed.

They are afraid that the Democrat Stealing Days are about to come to an end.

The US House has nothing to do with appointing Judges.

The President & the Senate both held by the GOP.

The sole goal of the Dems is for their media allies starting today will say “Impached” every time Trumps name comes up.

They will think this will affect voters, but it will just piss people off more.

Do you think the Brits got sick of Brexit instead of doing what the voters voted on, the left went their own way and paid a severe price because the electorate slapped them down.

The Nation isn’t asking for Impeachment, this will be by party line vote so its proven to be just a political move. The US Economy is booming. The 2020 Dem hopefuls look hopeless.

We are watching the biggest political blunder in decades.

Irrelevant what the senate does. He is now, today an impeached POTUS. They will argue that a POTUS who has been impeached and going into a National election has should not have full powers.

Bingo. Getting rich off our taxes and not addressing the true needs of the population should let even the “ gimme crowd” know they don’t care about them or anyone else.

Yes, I expect that they will file another impeachment after Trump’s re-election. It’s the main reason that I think AG Barr needs to start prosecuting some of the minor swamp creatures for falsification of records, leaking classified information & whatever else he might think of. The Democrat-bureaucratic alliance needs to be broken forever.

Between Barr and Durham feathers had better fly.

They can argue that, but they can’t force the Senate majority to agree. That is a decision exclusively by the Senate.
