IMPEACHMENT of Federal Judges... Should we proceed?

The trouble is that it takes a 2/3rds majority in the Senate. Never going to happen.

There are 14 senators who are in reelection trouble in states Trump won.. I wouldn't be so sure.

That would still leave you one short and there are not 14 senators in reelection trouble. Many of these senators are far more skilled at winning their states than Clinton was. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are likely out of reach. How many people vote on impeachment votes. A recent Fox poll shows that only 9% of Americans consider the Gorsuch nomination as the most important issue.

We need 66 votes.. We have 53.... We need just 13

hmmm liberal counting problems?

52

Your right.. But 14 will still accomplish the task.

52+14=66. You still need 1 more. In addition, Trump won several states due to Hillary Clinton's weakness. A number of the Democrats are much better skilled at winning in their states. While Trump was winning Montana, Democrats took the Governor's office. Michigan and Pennsylvania seem relatively safe. Bill Nelson has a +14 approval in Florida. People do not vote on the basis of judges.

There are only 99 Senators at the moment.
