      Because that’ll work in a Republican controlled House and Senate. I’m sure they’ll get right on drawing up articles of impeachment.

        Understand that when your goal is blocking things, you somstimes do things you know will almost certainly fail. Republicans have used this playbook for ages to block the Democratic party

        Make them get tied up in as many pointless tasks to distract them from their other goals. Sometimes you’ll even occasionally win a long shot challange

        Oh they’ll do an impeachment, they’ll impeach Obama Biden Harris 3 times just to “own the libs” then do a senate shenaigan where they call up republican senators while blocking democratic sentors from entering then they vote unanimous 51/51 and block them from eligibility of future federal office, even tho they probably wont run again.

      If everything he does, per SCOTUS, while President is legal, than what do you impeach him for? Also, you guys voted in a red House and Senate, so that’s not happening on a good day.

      I’m getting very tired of happy happy joy joy style and unrealistic posts. We need to talk raw reality here, people.

        To my understanding the ruling doesn’t affect impeachment. Trump’s team argued that impeachment was the check and balance on presidential power iirc

          They didn’t argue that in good faith. They knew the likelihood of that actually happening is near zero. If he was going to be impeached for anything at all, it would have been for inciting an insurrection – which is actual treason – and we all saw how that went. And they didn’t have the trifecta back then. There’s even less chance of that now, and they know it.
