To: a little elbow grease
Nancy Pelosi’s decision to withhold the recently passed articles of impeachment from the Senate in an effort to compel Republicans to allow witnesses at a Senate trial.

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.
