The house is now delivering the impeachment articles with all of the pomp and circumstance. Historic. Long overdue.

Wrong source. This is CBS, not PBS. Many other links, I think everyone is carrying this live.

I’m actually surprised this is on today. I though Schumer was going to bury it. But no, Rep Mark Green is delivering the articles of impeachment, reading them to the senate.

I wish they’d follow through on Hunter, Hillary, Schiff, etc. They need to be in jail.

Schumer will treat is just like McConnell did Trump’s 2nd impeachment trial.
To: Reno89519
The impeachment managers: “GOP Reps. Mark Green of Tennessee, Michael McCaul of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Ben Cline of Virginia, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Michael Guest of Mississippi, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, Laurel Lee of Florida, August Pfluger of Texas, and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.”

Schumer will try to bury it, but he has to receive it first.
Schumer wants to use a Senate motion to dismiss. It's unheard of; the Constitution requires a trial in the Senate.
Even before Schumer can make a motion to dismiss, the Senate must first choose someone to preside over the trial, most likely the President pro tempore Patty Murray (D-WA).
Then they have to adopt the rules for the trial, most likely the same rules that have been used in the prior impeachment trial. I don't think those rules included a motion to dismiss. The Senate rules for the Clinton impeachment trial included a motion to dismiss, but it wasn't used.

My bet is that it does in the Senate without a wimpier.

Sitting as an impeachment court means senators need to be actually present in the chamber to pretend to listen to evidence and arguments. They hate that because it interferes with their fund raising meetings with lobbyists.

Sadly, there is precedent for impeachment trails of non presidents to be presided over by the vice president. We could see Kamala Harris sitting as president of the senate. And the clown show will continue.

I wonder if he’ll end up being a scape goat
To: DouglasKC
I reckon scape goating Mayorcas is possible, but maybe its the election that would drive that.
Biden needs to close the border, Thats what this pressure is about I think.

It keeps the border situation on the front page. It give the monster a chance to lie under oath. It is a counter to the monstrosity of kangaroo court.
