Senate GOP vows to quickly quash any impeachment charges

Flashbulb Man is saying Rump is above the law, is that what we're saying here?

 

[DGS49]

Note the use of the word, "quash." McConnell never used that word. The word, "quash" means to cancel, void, rescind, or words to that effect. What McConnell said was that the matter would be quickly "disposed of." There would be an expeditious trial with a minimum of grandstanding, followed by an up or down vote. After all, there is no new information to be revealed, and in such case, the Senate would be aware of every conceivable relevant fact and applicable law, regulation, or Constitutional provision.

The word, "quash" conveys the idea that the impeachment of the House would be dismissed as insignificant. Fake news.

At the risk of stating the obvious, "quash" also means "to dispose of".

The quoted article clearly says "quash" not only in its headline but in its text as well. And Flashbulb Man is quoted as saying "if it's based on the Mueller report it would be quickly disposed of". Note the use of the word of.

That's followed by Cornyn predicting "nothing would come of it".

Nice try at weaseling out of the meaning but it's clear.

Not at all.

Oh thats ok, we'll just kick Turmp out of office the old fasioned way before state indictments are brought.

If my local county court says in advance that anything I'm arrested for will be "quashed" ------ then I am above the law.

Note the word any. I took it from your thread title.

No, it's a delusion caused by your TDS saying that.

Hey, I'm just reading what the OP wrote.

If you went into court and were told that any charges against you would be "quashed", doesn't that mean you get away with anything?

Note I said ANY charges. Because that's what the thread title says. Prove it doesn't.

Of course that may or may not be an accurate depiction of what Flashbulb Man was saying, but it does tell us volumes about the OP.

Doesn't it.

Mitch can deny the dems their "show trial" by simply declining to use its power to try the case against Trump.
The dems can impeach, but it wouldn't go anywhere in the Senate.

Can the Senate Decline to Try an Impeachment Case?
"The Constitution does not by its express terms direct the Senate to try an impeachment. In fact, it confers on the Senate "the sole power to try,” which is a conferral of exclusive constitutional authority and not a procedural command. The Constitution couches the power to impeach in the same terms: it is the House’s “sole power.” The House may choose to impeach or not, and one can imagine an argument that the Senate is just as free, in the exercise of its own “sole power,” to decline to try any impeachment that the House elects to vote."

Of course its nonsense.

I'd like to know just exactly what they would impeach him for??

You can't just say impeach him when there is no reason to impeach him. Mueller already proved there was no collusion and no obstruction.

Maybe a bad golf game??

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Duh...we told them this last Nov.

fyi-The House determines if there are any ARTICLES of Impeachment, which are the Indictments.... they can not impeach without any.

Anyone with a dozen viable brain cells

You're not going to get him impeached and he'll likely win 2020 given the clowns the dems have running so far

TY for that link!!
In this day and age, with McConnell, who has been on a mission to destroy the power of the deliberative side of congress, the Senate....

sadly, I would not put it past him...

Our nation and constitution is being destroyed right before our very eyes imo....

Here is a part of the opinion article in your link

Professor Laurence Tribe has argued that the Senate retains a clear constitutional “duty” to proceed with a trial. He grounds that obligation in the "structure, history, function, and logic of the impeachment Power, not from any mandating language." On this we agree: the Senate does have this duty to try any impeachment voted by the House. The individual senators would violate their oath in altogether ignoring the House’s constitutional judgment that the president, having committed impeachable offenses, is unfit to retain the office. For the Senate and a majority to adopt this course is wrong and dangerous.

But being WRONG, does not matter anymore...

Its wayyyyy more complicated than the honestly motivated House righteously indicting a sitting president for "high crimes and misdemeanors" and the Senate shirking their oaths by not proceeding with the trial. Please recall that the origin of the "Mueller investigation" is clouded by partisanship and may have been a simple coup attempt by the prior administration, THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG.
If Barr, Durham, Huber and Horowitz uncover proof that crimes were committed setting up that fake "investigation", what does that do to any "high crimes and misdemeanors" indictment? There can be no "obstruction" if there was no crime, i.e. if the FBI and others committed the crimes framing Trump, what does that say about any potential "totally partisan" impeachment?.

There's nothing to impeach him for. The ones that need to be removed are the ones who bring this up.
