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.

Tulsi Gabbard upstages Justin Amash by being the only House member to vote Present on articles of impeachment
Amash voted Yea on both articles of impeachment as the sole independent.
Gabbard was late to favor an impeachment inquiry, supporting it only after Trump's Ukraine phone call in July.
NDAA creating Trump's Space Force and paid family leave for The Swamp will also give immigration amnesty to 4,000 Liberians
Many Liberians fleeing
civil war in the 1990s were given temporary protected status to stay in
the U.S. — with no path to citizenship — and became part of the DED
program in 2007. They faced the prospect of deportation under
administrations of both parties, with continual extensions.
Trump
twice moved to end the program, saying Liberians could return to their
homeland because conditions in the country had improved: It was no
longer experiencing armed conflicts and had recovered from a 2014
outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus. But as Liberians' DED status was set
to expire on March 31 this year, the administration approved a one-year
reprieve.
