But it was meant to protect the republic. Not to play political games.

Jesus Christ. Just admit the Democrats know this is a farce.

Their whole "urgency" argument is dead

You're so fricking incapable of honesty

I’ve never said otherwise. It’s purely for optics. This thing never had a chance at passing.

Well procedurally, unless the Senate Rules are changed, there's nothing to dismiss at the moment.


Until they're sent, he wasn't impeached

Well their optics are that by delaying, they're openly admitting that their urgency argument was a lie.

they are also openly admitting what I said from the start and that is that they want no part of public hearings on this because it will ruin them

But changing Senate rules requires a 67-vote supermajority, and Democrats would surely block Hawley’s resolution


Um...no, it doesn't.

There were not 67 votes to invoke the Reid rule regarding votes necessary for cloture on judicial nominees.

I have no doubt that Trump’s team will come up with a masterful campaign ad on this delay after the country kept hearing how urgent impeachment was.

Nancy is ensuring his re-election.

with all that is going on if Repubs stop talking about it, most Americans would forget about impeachment.

She is playing games, she wants it all in writing. She is stalling because the DC court won't give the lawfare blogger lawyers 6e docs from honest Bob or force the courts to usurp executive privilege/immunity.


This is a sincere question. How in the hell do a lot of you know all of these things? It is impressive.

There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure. We will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. The House Democrats’ turn is over. The Senate has made its decision. This is for the Senate, and the Senate only, to decide.
