Through the public vote it is clear that this sham impeachment is purely partisan -- which neither Trump nor any Republican in the House could do by themselves without control of the House. This sends a strong message to Republican senators (which the author notes) as well as an unambiguous message to McConnell that if impeachment is ultimately referred for trial it must be struck dead at the door of the Senate as the sham it is.
Correct. And now is the time for a Senate Resolution. One proclaiming that if/when the Morons in the House do send an Impeachment vote to the Senate - it will be immediately voted down and declined.
But with squishy Repugs like Mitch around - I doubt very much they will make such Resolution now. Nor immedately vote down Impeachment if/when it does reach the Senate.
I wonder if the House will hold any open hearings on this matter? If not, then the Senate could. And call the very same witnesses that testified before Schiff for Brains.
And televise the thing. Live.
