Dershowitz: Pelosi Doesn’t Have The Impeachment Power She Believes

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t have the power she believes to prevent the Senate’s participation in impeachment proceedings, former Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz said Thursday.

“Whether the House wants it to be in the Senate or not, the matter is now properly before the Senate,” Dershowitz said in a call with the Republican National Lawyers Association. “The presiding officer of the Senate can set a trial date, convene the chief justice and begin the trial. So I don’t think that Pelosi has the power that she thinks she has, or that my colleague Larry Tribe thinks she has.”

Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe has suggested the House withhold the trial until the Senate changes its rules to be more favorable to Democrats, or until another election puts more Democrats in the chamber. “Senate rules requiring the House to ‘immediately’ present its articles of impeachment to the Senate clearly violate the constitutional clause in Article I giving each house the sole power to make its own rules,” Tribe wrote in a Dec. 18 tweet. He subsequently deleted the message.

Only comment I see is there must be a charge somewhere made on why he was impeached.

Otherwise, it is like a prosecutor going before a judge saying 'He is guilty' without giving any evidence on what he is guilty of.

How can a trial take place without charges?

...so, why did Tribe delete his tweet, if he was so proud of it in the first place?

At this point, Miss Nancy has zero leverage. If she makes noises about "fair" rules, McConnell can point out that he has proposed the 1998 rules that were approved unanimously and ask why the Dems have declined that proposal.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Pelosi  -  Abuse of Power.  Obstruction of Congress.

The Rats have really boxed themselves in this time. The only good outcomes for them have very long odds.

Not sure even the media can dig them out of this one.
