FISA Court has no excuse for failing to stop FBI crimes, Devin Nunes warned it in letter June 2018
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.
