Just heard George Stephanopoulus on the Radio say he was told the Dems have plans to Impeach Trump and/or Barr to prevent the SCOTUS hearings and Vote.
Impeachment, Schiff is ready.
Most Americans will see it for what it is.
A political stunt. Nothing more.
The Senate would not even take it up.
The House really can’t interfere with the Senate’s business here.
Another such attempt would likely be an electoral disaster unless, as rumored, the Southern District of New York springs charges on Trump and his family in order to ramp up the supposed pretext.
But even that is likely to be seen as indecent attempted election interference.
What would the possible impeachment charge be? Upholding the Constitution?
By holding impeachment hearings simultaneously with confirmation hearings, and backed by the full media, it will give the optics of something sinister being done by an evil dictator!
Not doubting that the House Howling Haters would do another Impeachment but how does it block a SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) appointment? Impeachment, as we learned earlier this year is a CHARGE, not a conviction! Yes the Chief Justice, John Roberts, presides at the US Senate Trial, but that has absolute zero to do with filling the vacant SCOTUS Seat.
Silly me, I just realized I’m thinking logically and of that ancient document called the real US Constitution. Neither of the above applies to the Democratic sufferers of peak TDS!
RBG rallied at that point, so those talking points became inoperative, but you can bet you will hear them again and again.
It sucks when you lose an election.
Democrats can’t do much without help from at least a few Republicans. A simple majority is all it takes under current Senate rules to confirm a Supreme Court nominee.
Democrats can raise objections, raise hell in confirmation hearings and on the floor of the Senate, but ultimately, the committee and McConnell will decide when the key votes occur.
Democrats need 4 Republicans to vote with them to block a nominee. That’s because the GOP holds a 53-47 majority, and Vice President Mike Pence can break any 50-50 tie.
So... The House will hold hearing and vote to impeach in... 2-3 weeks?
Never happen. Even rank-and-file House Dems will not buy into that.
The will impeach Trump for collusion with the Senate....
Impeach Barr ?
What does DOJ have to do with SCOTUS nominations?
Two completely different branches of government.
Impeachment on what grounds?
Civil war on it’s way.
“How does an impeachment by the House stop any Supreme Court nomination?”
The Marxists have now gone full ballistic. Their internals must be in the crapper.
Nadless and Pelosi stomping their feet. Sound and fury signifying...nothing.
>>Impeachment on what grounds?<<
Same as last time:
Federal Article 9, Section XVI, subsection 1.b, paragraph 3:
“Orange Man Bad”
The mediots are pushing it because they love crisis and chaos. Any savvy Democrat politician knows this would be a dumb move.
How does impeachment stop Trump from doing his job?
