The nation’s fractured leadership continued its somber march into the history books as the House of Representatives prepared to impeach President Trump on Wednesday, a dramatic step that has been sapped of almost any drama by relentless partisanship, creating a sense of inevitability around an otherwise monumental constitutional clash.
The ultimate impact of the impeachment saga awaits next year’s election results and, eventually, the verdict of historians. For now, national polls show public opinion has barely budged in either direction, with Americans divided down the middle, mainly by party.Although Pelosi once said impeachment should be a bipartisan undertaking, she said in an interview with The Times on Tuesday that the gravity of the president’s misconduct made her willing to push forward without any Republican support.
Republicans have largely ignored or denied the evidence compiled by Democrats, instead complaining about the process and accusing them of desperately trying to undermine a president they couldn’t beat at the ballot box. “It’s just something that we’re having to plow through at this point,” said Rep. Doug Collins , the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. “They have the votes. And they’ll move it forward.”
Assuming the House votes to impeach Trump, there will be no respite from partisanship once the matter moves to the Senate, which is planning to hold a trial in January. “It’s not the Senate’s job to leap into the breach and search desperately for ways to get to guilty,” he said on the Senate floor. “That would hardly be impartial justice.”
senatemajldr Why do you have an issue with witnesses testifying, Turtle? Hiding something...?
Well, there you go . . following the lead of the Democrat leadership and our national mainstream media which supported them 100%.
As he should. The shoe is on the other foot now
McConnell is to Trump, what Trump is to Putin.
Outstanding. Congratulations Leader McConnell.
Like Moscow said he has made up his mind, as has Lying Lindsey.
That's not how it works. The house investigates and the Senate hold the trial.
Let’s see about that
It's 'Impeachment Eve' or is it 'Fck Donald Trump Day'. I'm fine with both.
