In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren Hits House Dems for Not Impeaching Trump: 'Congress Failed to Act' [View all]backtoblue

As i mentioned upthread, id like to read her whole quote because it seems like shes calling out Congress in its entirety. The gopers need to step up and do their constitutional duty. And so does the rest of Congress.
MF45 needs impeachment proceedings pronto. And the whole body needs to do their jobs.
Which is pretty much what Kamala said in April
During a CNN town hall, Harris said she believes "Congress should take the steps toward impeachment." But, adding that she's "also a realist," Harris said it was highly unlikely that Senate Republicans would, if the House does vote to impeach Trump, vote to remove him from office.
"I've not seen any evidence to suggest that they will weigh on the facts instead of on partisan adherence to being protective of this president," she said. "And that's what concerns me and what will be the eventual outcome. So we have to be realistic about what might be the end result, but that doesn't mean the process should not take hold."

Shes basically saying the same thing...the House needs to start impeachment proceedings. Kamala's words are more measured and explanatory, but her conclusion is the same. And i agree with them both.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Being a Senator she knows better than anyone what roadblocks there are to impeachment at this time.

She's attacking Republicans, heading toward a face off with 45. She's showing she's not afraid,

Absolutely. Trump laughs in the country's collective face and does whatever he wants.
