Tweet this to Speaker Pelosi! Dennis Donovan Jun 2019 #3

Lol. They know. Of course. Hortensis Jun 2019 #8

Brilliant. Don't think the House would do something so unprecedented. Nevilledog Jun 2019 #4

Don't get me wrong. It is a brilliant proposition. Nevilledog Jun 2019 #15

Sure. Tribe's not the first one to bring this up, though, and Hortensis Jun 2019 #19

First time I had seen the proposal. Guess Tribe gets more visibility. Nevilledog Jun 2019 #25

Tribe's visibility is very useful. As you say, Hortensis Jun 2019 #32

Yup. LiberalLovinLug Jun 2019 #14

Really? You say that? While the House is led by the UNPRECEDENTED Nancy Pelosi, first woman? Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2019 #16

Unprecedented proceedings. Has nothing to do with the genitals of any House member. Nevilledog Jun 2019 #17

:) Irrefutable repost. Unless you consider Hortensis Jun 2019 #23

I think this is a great idea! Poiuyt Jun 2019 #5

Best Plan of All. Mad respect to Lawrence Tribe. stuffmatters Jun 2019 #21

I thought this was the plan all along as there was no way the fascists would ever help. nt yaesu Jun 2019 #24
