Impeach Trump Or Barr! Stall the SCOTUS Nominee!

[Indyfan53]

Nancy Pelosi recently said that another impeachment process is on the table to stall the SCOTUS nominee from taking RBG’s seat. This may be our only hope.

Contact Pelosi and demand she start up an impeachment hearing for Trump or Barr.

1. Discussed dozens of times already

It would not stall the nomination process

Nor (since it's bound to come up again) - would it keep Trump from pardoning (insert latest theory here).

4. So, I am so done with these angry demands for democrats that does nothing.

[FBaggins]

6. Worth correcting, but not worth getting worked up about

They are all various blends of Denial/Anger/Bargaining... and we all go through those phases at our own pace.

Extending grace is appropriate.

[LizBeth]

8. I am on another thread INSISTING Dems accept that Trump is criminal. Hey, what Dem has not been

screaming thru the bullhorn Trump being criminal, corrupt, vile?

I read Moore the other day come out and attack Biden for not doing enough in Michigan as he sits ten points on average, ahead of Trump.

It is old, harmful and not honest.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Impeach 'em both. And there's other cabinet members that deserve the treatment.

[LizBeth]

3. It will not postpone, right? That is what I heard. We need the correct info. Will it stall?

Or are we making a demand that does nothing?

[triron]

9. I think we need to hear from legal experts, not amateurs.

[LizBeth]

10. Facts would be absolutely welcome, wonderful. Yes. I will wait on making demands until I have facts.

5. its a loss cause folks

We should have replace RBG in Obamas first term yes she was iconic but we play our cards with heart, when we should be playing defense ...

[FBaggins]

7. Not a lost cause... but very slim chances

The nominee might answer a question in a way that will turn support or the investigation might uncover something significant enough.

[ace3csusm]

14. Republicans have the votes needed they dont care ...

Just look at the Kavanaugh Confirmation hearing, they still pushed it thru and they will do the same on this nomination...Thats the difference between Democratic s and Republicans, Democratics are judged by different standards even from within the party remember Al Franken... We make the honorable decision, Republicans decision are based on whats good for them to maintain power...It sucks , just remember how they shut down Obama's nomination and how much did we fight for it we where convinced to follow the previous norms, but when same situation is presented to Republicans they quickly forget those norms when its to their advantage...

[FBaggins]

15. They could be made to care

You are, of course, correct. There is no path forward for Democrats without a few Republicans to help them... and there's no evidence that they're willing to play along.

But if (during questioning or otherwise) it comes to light that the nominee had 15 abortions... things could fall apart.

Again... the chances are between slim and none... but Slim hasn't left the building yet.

[ace3csusm]

17. Only things that might be able to save them now is

if all the Senate Republicans that are being black mailed by the Russians where to get leaked into Democratic hands. The Democratic could side bar them and say we have the info resign and will make sure to go easy on you when the investigation start...

[sweetloukillbot]

12. Yeah! Blame the Democrats! nt

[ace3csusm]

16. Well Yes, who else could have made the decision

Just look at What Republicans did with Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, they asked him to step down why because they knew they could get a younger candidate confirmed because the had the votes in senate they secured it for the next 30yrs ... Had Obama made a nomination in first term we would still have that seat secured for 20+ years and their could have bee nothing the Republicans could do because we had the Senate advantage...

[sweetloukillbot]

18. Yeah! Who cares if she WANTED to retire!

Screw her opinion. Just take away the agency of one of the most powerful women in goverment.

That's what we should do!

[ace3csusm]

20. Her Opinion could have lived on with new appointment for 30+yrs to continue her work

Do you think the new Republican appointment will continue her work now, I get she did alot for the movement...But Republicans are bent ongoing back to the 50's they do not want progress...

[sweetloukillbot]

21. Just keep blaming the woman and the black man, it's a good look nt

[brooklynite]

11. Foolish idea that won't slow down the appointment by a second.

If you assume the Democratic House can rush an Impeachment vote, then the Republican Senate can do the same with the Court nomination.

[Buckeyeblue]

13. Nancy could demand passage of the heroes act to keep the government up and running

This is the message I would start broadcasting: Thre Senate and White House have time to rush through a SC nomination but don't have time to take up the cause of Americans who have been hit hard by the mismanaged Covid pandemic.

If government can't work for everybody, it shouldn't work for anyone. Shut it down.

[Amishman]

19. not only will it not work, the Pubs could use it as an excuse to skip confirmation hearings

House rushes impeachment.

McConnell makes an announcement like this "in light of the allegations which will need to be addressed before the election, we will be proceeding directly to the confirmation vote. This unfortunate step is essential to preserving our democratic process and preventing these allegations from influencing the upcoming election.'

He's slimy enough to flip it around to do what he wants.

As much as we want to be able to try some Hail Mary to stop this, the only question is if the Pubs have the votes.
