I guess this is why I’m not a big Levin fan: he always correctly assesses what the enemy is doing, but he never gets around to innovative legal RESPONSES.

Levin's suggested response right from the article: Here’s what Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans must do in response: The Senate has the sole power under the Constitution to adjudicate an impeachment. Therefore, Pelosi is attempting to obstruct the Senate’s power to act on its constitutional authority. McConnell should immediately put an end to this and declare the impeachment null and void as the speaker has failed to complete the impeachment process by timely sending it to the Senate for adjudication.

Sounds like a pretty clear legal response to me.

Except Yertle cannot “declare” anything “null and void.” It needs to be voted on. So I want to know how Levin gets around the rule change. Because THIS is much different than a vote to acquit: this would offer sufficient confusion and archane language that the neverTrumpers can vote AGAINST a rule change while still feigning support for Trump.

I want to know specifically how he would have Yertle deal with that, cuz that’s what I think will happen. Hope I’m wrong.

Oh, and realize if Yertle does this, the DemoKKKrats will sue and try to get this in front of the USSC.
