[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We almost certainly won’t get 2/3 of the senate. But if we get just a few republicans breaking from the party and having a majority of the senate vote to convict it will be a small victory. [/quote]

Now that would be a heck of a price to pay if this effort to impeach the president results in the House going back to the Republicans - a risk that Pelosi herself acknowledges is a reality.

It explains why Pelosi is so reluctant to hold a vote to approve an inquiry because she does not want vulnerable Democratic House members to have this on record. And in the meantime, Trump has said he will not release any documents that were subpoenaed until the House approves the impeachment inquiry.

So the remedy is to go to court and all the way to the Supreme court which will likely take months to resolve.[/quote]

Anything is possible, but every year the demographics of  most districts turn more blue.

The dems had no choice but to open an inquiry. If they had continued to be meek and derelict in their constitutional duties it could’ve affected voter turnout. [/quote]

[i]House Democrats are under increasing pressure to hold a politically risky vote to sanction their impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

The White House is expected as early as Monday to tell Speaker Nancy Pelosi it will not cooperate with an impeachment-related subpoena drafted by Democrats until the House votes officially to open an impeachment investigation.

"We'll be issuing a letter," Trump told reporters Friday on the South Lawn. "As everybody knows, we've been treated very unfairly, very different from anybody else."

Democrats threatened to impeach Trump for obstructing Congress if he fails to turn over the material requested in the subpoena related to the Ukraine whistleblower case. But Republicans are building an argument that the inquiry isn’t legitimate because Pelosi skipped the vote to sanction it.

Republicans contend Pelosi was shielding politically vulnerable Democrats when she broke precedent and announced last month that the House is holding an impeachment inquiry without the customary vote.[/i]
