8. Let's play make a schedule

If the committees work extremely fast they might be done by thanksgiving. Too close the Christmas break to have full house meetings and a vote beforeChristmas in my opinion

So I’d guess the plan is to have the committee s work up to Christmas.

When does the house get back from break? Mid January? Figure four weeks for the full house to hold hearings. That puts a house vote in mid to end of February.

Super Tuesday is March 3rd. A good number of primaries are done by the time the senate begins a trial and it is very late to mount a primary challenge.

I know I’m guessing a lot in the above. If anything I think the dates could be later.

Having the senate trial after Super Tuesday gives us a chance that some senate republicans up for re-election grow a spine.

How late can the votes be? Too close to November might make the public say sort it out by election not impeachment. I don’t know what other factors they are thinking of but public opinion will influence the dates in my opinion.

I know doing the right thing matters the most, but I also think speaker Pelosi has a much better version of a schedule mapped out with a million times more insight.
