The question then becomes WHY??
Are they trying to hand the early advantage to Sleepy Joe??
They want him to still be under a cloud when he gives the SOTU address.
I was thinking that they are hoping enough Republicans get tried of being sequestered so to speak that they’ll vote to convict just to end the boredom.
Over 70 District Judges seats need to be filled. Keeping the Presidents choices out is why. Can't be seated if the Senate won't recess or vote them in.
I assume they realize their leftist cadres from 2016 have lost much of their zeal, as none of the horrible predictions about a Trump presidency came to fruition. He didn’t force women to wear burquas, didn’t outlaw abortion or “oppress” homosexuals, didn’t deport all of the illegals - they were just 2016 scare tactics.
They’ll still have pockets of radicals to demonstrate, but far less than three years ago.
