McConnell accuses Pelosi of ‘shameless game-playing’ as she insists on seeing rules for a Senate trial

Didn't the Senate say they were adopting the same rules that the Senate used under Clinton's impeachment?

It was imperative she needed to act quickly because Drumpf is a clear and present danger!


Or not.

Turtle should tell her the following:

1. You send over articles.
2. We vote to dismiss.

Those are the rules. And you have until COB today to send the articles over, otherwise we will vote to dismiss for lack of evidence.

She has to submit them to see what’s in the rules.

Good. Don't send them, then.

Impeachment*

At this point just let her keep the articles. Maybe she can hang them in her office or something. What a circus.

He should make it real simple for her. The Senate handles this part of the impeachment, not the House. It is spelled out in the Constitution. If she wants him impeached, send the articles. Otherwise, frick off. I would tell that witch she could go to hell for questioning my integrity.

Remind her that she's not in the Senate.

Never tell her the rules

Tell her to go home and scrape her dinner off the sidewalk

Her part is done. She either turns the articles over to the Senate or the impeachment is done. She has ZERO power over the Senate. Seems like an abuse of her congressional power, doesn't it.

Nancy has no super powers as Speaker. She has the same authority as all House members. The house voted to impeach and send to Senate. She has no authority to not send over to the Senate. Lindsey said Sunday that he would call a vote in "Days not weeks" to begin work on the articles if they have sent or not.

Rule#1.

The articles of impeachment must have very specific and well defined crimes against the president as per the Constitution if the articles of impeachment do not have specific crimes the senate will throw the case out."

Is there some line in our constitution that says the Senate has to wait for a physical piece of paper from this bitch’s office to act?

Could someone link that for me?
