Will the Impeachment in an election year give license for Trump to push for a S.C immediately?

Ignore the Democrats. Literally.

Full speed ahead.

I don't know the answer. I just know how Trump and the GOP have felt over the last 4 years of the onslaught and I don't think Trump is going to back down so close to an election. Fighting is what he lives for and considering how he has had to play defense for so long, this unprecedented situation is going to embolden him.

It's why the first narrative released was "RBG's dying wish was..." They want to make it appear as if Trump is "a mean guy" if he tries to fulfill his duty.

What if Trumps brother who recently passed didn't like the Mail-out voting either, does that change anything?

The GOP started this. Obama nominated Merrick Garland who was a moderate. He was also in his 60s. That meant his stay as a Supreme Court justice might have been short. Obama clearly attempted to compromise with the Republicans and was slapped down. The GOP has allowed Trump to do things they would be criticizing a Democrat for. What if Obama was on tape saying he downplayed the H1N1 virus. Republicans would eat him alive. If Biden wins, Trump will have set numerous precedents. Wonder if the GOP will look the other way.

Been here, done that. The Senate is not obligated to provide advice and consent, and it is certainly not logically expected for the majority to provide advantage to an opposing minority.

I was considering the implications this has on 2020 and what actions the GOP might take. Trump already has his list made, probably has someone in mind already as he did interviews during the Kavanaugh appointment process.

Knowing what Trump has gone through for 4 years, how unrelenting his opponents have been, especially the impeachment in the year of an election, when Schiff wouldn't even allow equal legal representation among other moves to force through the weakest Impeachment in the shortest time. Will this give the GOP far more leverage to go forward with this than they would normally have? Does this act give them immense cover?

I'm guessing if Trump chooses a S.C now he is going to remind the American citizen what his Party experienced the last year alone (not to mention the Russia Investigation, rioting and threats), all while a pandemic was sent over from China.

Then there is the Mail-Out voting in which Dem governors just ignored 250 years of your history, didn't even care to debate or ask the Feds, they sent out millions of votes for the most contentious election in recent history.

All of this, has to have the GOP thinking. "We will act as THEY would act.

This was not the weakest case. This was the strongest case for impeachment. The reason it went through so fast was there was nothing to investigate. The evidence was clear.

This puts many Republican Senators on the hot spot. It pretty much guarantees Democrats complete control. The Supreme Court is now a major issue especially among female voters. It is another reason for voters to vote against Trump.

There is a 250 year history of voting by mail. Mail in voting dates back to the Revolutionary War. It officially became a option for the military in the Civil War and non-military around 1911.

Mail-In Voting Is a Necessary Right, and It's Been Around Far Longer Than Donald Trump

How long have U.S. citizens used mail-in voting? The option to vote by mailing in an absentee ballot has been allowed for several centuries now.

What if Trump chooses a principled, constitution-loyal female to the S.C? That HELPS Trump with female voters, not hurts.

It's clear what product Trumps calculation on this issue has returned.

You are falling into the trap. Just being female is not enough. The question is what are her views. Overturning Roe vs Wade would have a major impact on females not so much on men. Marsha Blackburn is a woman but she would not win election in a swing state or a blue state. Extremists do not win these types of seats. Martha McSally is likely to lose to a male candidate because her views are out of touch with female suburban voters.

There was no case for impeachment because the president violated NO laws. "Obstruction of Congress" by the Executive branch isn't illegal, or Obama would have been impeached when his AG told the congress to go pee up a rope over the gunrunning to Mexico, or any time a president has used "executive privileges" against congressional questions over the last two hundred and forty four years. The Executive and legislative branches of our government are co-equal, neither can exercise control over the other.
