I'm just wondering if impeaching him again would make any difference. totodeinhere Sep 2020 #1
Can Supreme Court Justices themselves be impeached? I believe so. bluewater Sep 2020 #8
Of course they can be impeached but it would take a 2/3rds vote in the Senate totodeinhere Sep 2020 #11
Good point. bluewater Sep 2020 #12

Another impeachment vote in the House would not stop the Senate from doing other business. totodeinhere Sep 2020 #13
I think the impeachment pre-empts all other business in the 2naSalit Sep 2020 #22
No it does not. The Senate can take up the impeachment trial when it sees fit. totodeinhere Sep 2020 #25

New Congress is seated January 3. POTUS/VP is January 20. CaptainTruth Sep 2020 #35
Would special election winners be seated even before January 3rd? bluewater Sep 2020 #38
One could be available as soon as 11/30. FBaggins Sep 2020 #49
Not necessary the case. Wellstone ruled Sep 2020 #17
I do not get your logic. There is no way that the Democrats will take control of the Senate before totodeinhere Sep 2020 #23
