Is Josh Hawley grandstanding or are his intentions on the up and up?
He was a standup guy at the ridiculous "impeachment hearings".
Potential witness John Bolton has been hospitalized.......after his iran war errection has lasted more than 4 hours.
You would need twenty-plus Democrats to vote along with this bill. I might agree and say that five might find some reason to go along with it. This is mostly for ‘hype’.
At this point, I might also suggest that we need to go back to the Constitution and write two lines of text....giving the House Speaker ten days to hand over the Articles of Impeachment, or they fall null and void.
“I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution”
Right on! He’s absolutely correct. Go for it. The question is, how will the squishes (Murkowski, Collins, Romney, etc.) vote? And how many of Hawley’s fellow Pubs with no spine, will back this?
This is flagrant House interference in how the Senate performs its business. The constitution clearly states that each house may set its own rules and this move is obviously designed to get the Senate to change the way it has done business. If the House does not like how the Senate does business the House can try to amend the constitution (good luck with that).
In response the Senate should pass a bill requiring the House to deliver articles of impeachment within 24 hours of their adoption. Include a provision that requires the master at arms to incarcerate the Speaker immediately if the articles are not delivered within 24 hours. This is interference by the Senate in how the House conducts its business and is turnabout. Let's see how Pelousi likes it.
I think hell be privately rebuffed for preempting the turtle.
A better idea: Dismiss this bogus impeachment’ because it is unconstitutional and thus illegal. The Supreme Court should be asked to concur.
Set a date, then dismiss if Pelosi misses it. The Senate has the power to set the rules for an impeachment trial.
The attack on and death of the General in Iraq rendered the impeachment irrelevant.
Also rendered irrelevant are Speaker Pelosi, Rep Schiff and Rep Nadler. All their efforts are for naught
