Senate won’t do it, because it’s run by spineless GOP swamp monsters.
That should cover any attempts at claiming the House hasnt properly transmitted the official Articles and trying to add to them after the fact of a Senate trial. It would also cover the claims of the Articles being created in the Senate rather than in the House.
My take is play just like them. Marquess of Queensbury rules do not work.
I don’t understand why everyone is in such a hurry. I would be fine if this waited until Durham makes arrests lot and lots of arrests. It will make the impeachment show seen for what it really is.
What is a “PITA?”
“So where does this supposed transmittal requirement come from? The answer is the Senates own rules.”
While the author goes on to get it correct, why even print an incorrect/misleading statement?
The more correct answer would be...
The answer is the Senates current rules.
“Rules” are to be obeyed. You MUST follow the “rules”.
Well.... unless you change them, which any Senate majority can do, and DOES do, ALL THE TIME!
But right now I'm enjoying Nan looking like a damnfool for tying the country in knots for three months for what . . . nothing?
Its kinda a bread like stuff but thats not important right now
Have you ever been taken or taken someone to court/ It takes years. For the government what is speedy? 1 week, 1 month 1 year? Why be in such a hurry in the meantime Trump is still our President.
That freak at Harvard the dims love listening to doesnt agree.
Click bait headline. 15 yard penalty.
What could go wrong, especially when you have Mitt Romney kicking the extra point....
Let me break it down for ya.
According to the constitution, concerning impeachment...
1. The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
2. The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
There you have it. The House can do whatever it wants when it comes to “impeachment” and the Senate can do whatever it wants when it comes to the trial of all “impeachments”.
It’s really quite simple.
Don’t read “powers” into the House and the Senate that they don’t have concerning impeachment.
The House has had their “majority” say, now the Senate will have theirs. (WITHOUT any dictates, demands, or interference from the House)
AND there will be NO GOING TO COURT over disagreements.
The House and the Senate have their own “SOLE” power.
Congress gets back January 7. McConnell’s first order of business after he showhorns through another 50 Trump judges and a replacement for Ginsberg if she has bought the ranch over the holidays is to hold a vote to set a time certain for a trial 10 days after that. Then when Pelosi does not send her impeachment managers to present the case, dismiss it with prejudice. And then both Trump and the Republicans should go into overdrive in messaging independents they need to give Republicans a majority in both houses come November if they want this to end.
i feel like im watching my parents argue over a divorce and i want to divorce myself from them both
Or Pain In The Aorta. Or Pain In The Alimentary-tract. Yeah, That's it!!
