bird cooch posted:Justice Roberts will be the president of the trial. There's only going to be so much that McConnell can do in theory because each senator is going to have to look at what's presented to them and what's presented to the public and then vote. Other than the Chief Justice presiding over the inquiry, there are no actual rules for how to run the trial. There isn't even anything requiring the Senate to actually hold that trial. List of things actually required by the Constitution:

Majorian posted:I did read what you wrote. What you wrote about the majority not appearing in the House until today was not a valid response to my point. Pelosi could have shown some leadership before today and made that majority appear sooner than almost three years into Trump's term. Yes I, some dork on a comedy forum, who is not preview to the inner workings of the house and the positions held by all of the people within, know better about what's going on there then literally everyone else in the world. also my entire post is a cohesive thought and which I respond to three posters so give the whole thing a reed it's not very long. Do you not see the immense hubris in your post (s)?

McConnell sitting on it after tons of damaging info comes out would almost be worth it. That could be just enough to get him to lose in 2020.

We ought to be more involved, but we aren't. The best we can do a lot of the time is take what we can get.

Well on 9/10 he was a hated rear end in a top hat most recently known for dumping his wife in a press conference so he could marry his very public mistress and having just dropped out of a Senate race he was losing to a carpetbagging Hillary Clinton. So its not that hard to imagine.

The day before the hearing he is hospitalized for some unclear reason and the nation should really just come together in the spirit of unity and send him and his family well wishes. He is america's mayor, after all.

Politico has it at 202, and it looks like there are at least 16 more in safe-ish seats so yeah, I think we’ve got the votes. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2019/house-reps-who-would-vote-for-trump-impeachment-our-latest-list/ edit: plus Justin Amash is likely to vote for impeachment (though he’ll be obnoxious about it and only vote for like one of the 12 charges or something)
