In reply to the discussion: How long should Speaker Pelosi hold up the Articles from the Senate? [View all]pandr32

...until a fair trial is assured.
Let's not forget Nancy Pelosi held tight on resisting calls to impeach in the first place. She is a very serious and talented leader who will not play fast and loose with something as important as the impeachment of a president just because others do not have her judiciousness and patience. This isn't a show.
We stood virtually no chance of proper impeachment proceedings in the Senate until Madame Speaker did as she did. Already a few Republicans have signaled support to allow witnesses and evidence.
