Kamala Harris calls for judicial nominee freeze during impeachment trial

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Wednesday called for a moratorium on judicial nominees during President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate, citing a similar pause during former President Clinton’s trial in 1999.
“The president is charged with high crimes and misdemeanors, and the Senate must take seriously its constitutional role in this process,” Harris said in a statement. “During the time when articles of impeachment are before the Senate, it would be wholly inappropriate to advance the president’s nominees to the federal judiciary.”
Harris’s statement notes that between the delivery of the Clinton articles of impeachment to the Senate and the Senate’s verdict on Feb. 12, 1999, the Senate Judiciary Committee did not convene any nomination hearings or advance any nominations to confirmation votes. While Senate committees cannot hold votes during impeachment trials, they are free to hold hearings.
Harris echoed her call for a moratorium in a tweet Wednesday afternoon.
The Senate is receiving the articles of impeachment against President Trump today. We should not advance any more judicial nominees while we take on this solemn responsibility of the president’s trial for high crimes and misdemeanors.

I thought that while the trial was underway the Senate couldn't hear any other matters even if they wanted?

Lol of course she did

Mitch should interrupt the trial as many times as needed to vote on federal judgeship nominees.

Is she worried about RGB? Perhaps they are starting to realize all of the judicial appointments that have been made over the last 3 years...manybof which were vacant by the lazy predecessor.

Then they should cite this comment, made by this fricking moron, as part of the reason why they are moving to immediately dismiss this charade. These assholes have clogged up the machinations of our Government long enough. This is evidence that they intend to use this farcical impeachment to further disrupt the functionality of the federal government. Which should be a crime in and of itself.
No fricks given about what was done in the past. We all know the government has been broken in the past. No reason to continue that shite.
Listen to opening arguments, vote to dismiss.

A. She didn't write any of that on her own
B. I really can't understand how people vote for her.

Watch for it - The next step is stating that an impeached president (whether convicted or not) cannot appoint SCOTUS justices.

And she can suck more dicks.

Don't need a next step for that. That's this step.

Yep, which is why Nancy keeps saying "impeached forever" with her irritating teeth clicking...

They can and Mitch probably would.
