Pelosi announces impeachment inquiry

[Anonymous]

The bottom line, Trump has declared himself above the law. Unless Justice Roberts or the GOP Senators disagree, we live in an authoritarian country.

Some on the right might claim I am being hysterical.

Nope, look at the facts.

This is pretty bad. Are Republicans just going to sit back while he thumbs his nose at the Constitution? This shouldn't be a political issue, it's about the laws that hold our country together.

This is a 30 year campaign that started with Newt Gingrich. The GOP obviously doesn't care.

Same thing is now happening in Ukraine as with the Kurds

FWIW, this is a good essay about House Rules as it relates to the impeachment process and what is constitutionally required.

Bottom line, the House makes the rules and is currently under the 2015 rules established by Paul Ryan. That the GOP is crying about it now is, hypocritical.

Looks like the GOP was ramping up for an HRC presidency.

Then, tell us why the rules were updated on Aug. 12, 2019 - coincidentally (or not) the same date the IG sent the letter to Schiff.

Yes, and or fined. Under the inherent subpoena powers of the US Congress, Nancy Pelosi could order the Sargent-at-arms to arrest them at dawn if she wants--but more than likely they will be fined first.

That document is not the Rules of the House or the rules of impeachment. It is a report prepared by the Library of Congress summarizing the House rules and precedents. It is continuously updated as a resource for House staffers.
