she should be charged with obstruction of congress [senate] and abuse of power and demanding a quid pro quo [do what we want or we'll hold the articles] !
McConnell is far too measured for any of that. For now, I think he is going to give her an opportunity to transmit the articles the 73 feet from her door to his. The Federal Appeals Court is hearing the arguments for two of Trump's advisers that he asserted privilege for. I don't know how quickly they will render a decision, but for now, we wait while Nancy figures out what she wants to do. She has kind of left herself twisting in the wind, and there is probably no point in the GOP rushing out to rescue her.
i know .... i was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left when they carry out the same acts that they accuse others of .
McConnell's offered Schumer the exact same procedures he accepted and voted for for Clinton, the procedures that passed the US Senate 100-0. Schumer thought those Senate rules were perfectly acceptable, for Bill Clinton.
Even if true - treason outweighs blowjobs.
The "Articles" are "Abuse of Power" and "Obstruction of Congress" idiot.
1. Not a crime or impeachable.
2. Will be thrown out by Roberts because the USSC already decided that Trump does have the right to take issues to court
Roberts can't throw it out, he only has an administrative role. The Senate has the SOLE power of impeachment trial, and as such is not reviewable by Roberts, SCOTUS, The House, The President, or anyone else.
Judge Nixon v. United States, 506 U.S. 224 (1993)
The court's decision was unanimous, but four separate opinions were published. The majority opinion, by
Chief Justice William Rehnquist, held that the courts may not review the impeachment and trial of a federal officer because the
Constitution reserves that function to a coordinate political branch.
Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution gives the
Senate the "
sole power to try all impeachments." Because of the word
sole it is clear that the judicial branch was not to be included. Furthermore, because the word
try was originally understood to include fact-finding committees, there was a textually demonstrable commitment to give broad discretion to the Senate in impeachments.
Furthermore the
Framers believed that representatives of the people should try impeachments, and the Court was too small to justly try impeachments. Also, the judicial branch is "
checked" by impeachments, so judicial involvement in impeachments violates the doctrine of the
separation of powers.
