Breaking: Pelosi delayed the impeachment waiting on her commemorative embossed souvenir pen order bearing her signature

The choreography is so over the top for the somber occasion, too, designed doubtlessly to mock Trump.

Speaker Pelosi snubs Justin Amash for impeachment manager, names some unknown Democrats instead

  • Pelosi names Reps. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Hakeem Jeffries, Zoe Lofgren, Val Demings, Jason Crow and Sylvia Garcia to manage the House impeachment case against Trump.
I sure hope the job comes with a map so they can find the US Senate chambers, and a pocket copy of the constitution.

McConnell can't do anything relative to impeachment because the House hasn't followed through

Technically there is no impeachment until the House gives the Senate the articles.

So, as far as the Senate is concerned, nothing has happened.

If the Senate acts in any way other than to pretend nothing has happened, it will be muddying the constitutional waters. 

Trump should go golfing with Mitch. Or better yet, to the horse races.

Democrats' prototype Stepford wife robot heads home for modifications after proving unable to complete impeachment


Akshully, Trump has not yet been impeached

Nancy has to send managers over to the Senate with the articles of impeachment before Trump can be said to be impeached.

So, keep holdin' 'em, Nancy! You are doing God's work!

It's more complicated than Mark Levin says: Sean Davis points out Senate rules require articles of impeachment to be delivered by House managers to the Senate, and changing those rules is too heavy a lift

Nancy Pelosi is a wily devil. She already knows how to use the rules against the Senate.

Seems like quite a vulnerability in the balance of powers which she is exploiting to grab the power for the House over the Senate and the presidency.

Ask yourself who benefits from the 22nd Amendment? And the 16th?

We have the tyranny of the legislative, despite the founders' many warnings.

McConnell must go nuclear to fix this, but probably will not. The gravity of the situation certainly calls for it, but the political toxicity would be just horrific.




Mark Levin views Pelosi's obstruction of the Senate as constitutionally overcomeable by McConnell



Nancy Pelosi was apparently advised by leftwing Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe to delay sending the impeachment to the Senate. So she’s unilaterally sitting on the impeachment. This is another brazen unconstitutional act.

Here’s what Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans must do in response: The Senate has the sole power under the Constitution to adjudicate an impeachment. Therefore, Pelosi is attempting to obstruct the Senate’s power to act on its constitutional authority. McConnell should immediacy [sic] put an end to this and declare the impeachment null and void as the speaker has failed to complete the impeachment process by timely sending it to the Senate for adjudication. McConnell has no less authority to unilaterally make such a decision than Pelosi does to withhold the administrative notification of an impeachment to the Senate either indefinitely or with conditions. Her effort to cripple the presidency and blackmail the Senate must be defeated.

Prediction: Nancy Pelosi will hold the articles of impeachment through the November 2020 election in order to get the Senate back in Democrat hands

After which she'll send the articles up to the Senate and get Trump convicted and expelled.

Her justification will be McConnell refusing to give Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland a hearing in 2016.

It's a gamble because the articles will have to be reauthorized in the next Congress, and presumes a Democrat sweep of both chambers. But what have they got to lose, except failure now or failure later?

Better to fail later and try to make political hay now while the sun shines. 

Every day Nancy Pelosi fails to distract Mitch McConnell with something else to do, you know, like articles of impeachment, is another day closer to achieving his goal of filling every judicial vacancy with a Trump appointee

When life hands you lemons . . ..

The best way to piss off Democrats this morning is to start ringing their phones off the hook since they all have celebration hangovers
