re: Rick Scott announces Constitutional amendment to raise threshold for impeachment

Any proposed Constitutional Amendment which lacks bipartisan support and which is unlikely to ever pass ... is pure grandstanding.

This proposal is pure grandstanding.

What are your thoughts on the epic waste of money that was the impeachment?

AR you actually this stupid? I really hope yall aren't this dumb.

Sling some more insults, it really gets your point across.

If the House Dems are not doing the work of the people, they will be punished for it at the ballot box come November, just as Republican House members were in 2018.

Why the hell 3/5ths? Why not 2/3rds like the Senate and compromise at 3/5ths? These guys do not understanding negotiating.

NOt that I necessarily support it, but is there some codified reason why they can't subpoena Bolton now?

Not a thing preventing it, and in fact it's rather conspicuous that they haven't done so already. And I'm guessing, as of this moment, that they don't actually care to hear from Bolton. They'd rather speculate as to what sort of earth shattering information he would drop IF he did so.

What sticks out even more is the fact that Schiff hasn't predicted with any specificity what game-changing information that Bolton would or could share. Which is a very large reason why he didn't convince enough Senators to vote for witnesses. And he knows that. Just simply couldn't and can't come up with anything at this point. It's a blatant invitation for a fishing expedition.

And incidentally, that will be the exact same reason why they won't convince the highest levels of the Judiciary to bypass executive privilege. No compelling reason to do so. It ain't simply a matter of asking.

That's how you should go about changing the rules.

Bernie did it when Citizens United didn't go the way he had hoped.
