Senate can change the rule by a majority vote and set a deadline for the House to present its case.
If it doesnt, it can vote to dismiss the articles of impeachment with prejudice and vote a directed acquittal of the President.

This assumes the gopE senate wants to dispatch the articles of impeachment. I don’t think so, I think they are all good with this hanging out there as an insurance policy against Trump. Opinions vary, but that’s mine.

Our R Senators have here a wonderfully easy opportunity to shove it firmly and squarely up the Drats derrières. Its a gimme.
Its also theirs to lose, and going by precedent...

IMO it would be stupid for the Senate to change the rules. The Left actually acts like there are no rules for them, and the only rules that exist are ones that apply to their opponents.
If the Senate were to budge at all in response to Pelosi demands it would be a bad move. In fact, it would only open the door to more of this underhanded sliminess that we have seen for months regarding this Yoo-crane fantasy.

The Senate should resolve....
“It is Resolved that Unless the House of Representatives Delivers the Articles of Impeachment they Voted for On December 18, 2019 to the Secretary of the Senate on or before January 7,2020 then such Articles will Immediately be Declared Null and Void, and be Subject to Immediate Dismissal with Prejudice if/when such Articles ever do Show Up.”

Senate won’t do it, because it’s run by spineless GOP swamp monsters.

Now, to this, I can agree. I would, however add to the Senates rules If a more accurate copy of any Articles of Impeachment is not transmitted and filed with the Secretary of the Senate by one hour before the time set by the Senate for the commencement of Trial for the Impeachment, the Senate will proceed with those Articles of Impeachment as publicly published on the Houses Website, and/or as published in the Minutes of the House of Representative in the Congressional Record deeming those as published Articles of Impeachment to be the only official versions and no further Articles of Impeachment will be accepted as official for purposes of Trial before the Senate.
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.

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.

“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!

If this is true, why hasn't McConnell already changed the rules (with the Senate's majority consent, of course)? Why is our side so gosh darn slow and feeble??
