Why is Pelosi having a vote on transmitting Impeachment Articles?
« on: January 14, 2020, 12:23:34 pm »
So, why is Pelosi having a vote on sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate?  I've never heard of the House doing this before.  They already approved the Articles.

It looks like the Impeachment bill is handled just like any other bill.

They voted on the articles of impeachment (charges) now they have to vote on the "package" to pass it.

Nope.  Not buying it.  That never happened in previous Impeachments, this is new.  And I have yet to hear of a Bill requiring a separate vote to transmit.  Once a Bill passes the whole House, that's it.

This is not an 'impeachment'.
I don't know what it is, but it is certainly not an impeachment process.
This something new, that the Dems are 'making up'.
In the prologue of the Articles themselves it is clearly written, These articles will be voted on and then passed to the Senate.
Pelosi and the Democrats are violating their own articles of impeachment which they themselves wrote!
This whole thing is freaking Bizarre!

Every Republican should vote 'present', neither voting for or against.  It is a nonsense vote.  Better to not go along with the charade.

The weirdest part of all of this is that the "vote" doesn't matter at all.
McConnell is going to proceed with the trial anyway, no matter what the House 'votes'.

Right. This is just another departure from procedure.
It's done, and she realizes she no longer has anything to threaten POTUS with.

This is a power-play by Pelosi. She is attempting to establish in perpetuity that the House is more powerful than the Senate.
She wants to obviate the Senate. What she does not know is that the Senate will proceed, with or without Pelosi.

None of this stuff matters. at al.
The Senate will proceed with the trial regardless of what Pelosi says or does.
She is done at this point. She has presented articles of impeachment.
Ok.

Ok, got it... the system is broken...
The question is, how do we fix it?
How do we make our elected representatives more accountable?
How do we force the courts to do their job correctly?
How do we get legislation in place to give agency heads the authority to fire these career employees that are behind the coup?
We don't even respect each other so how are we going to get our elected representatives to respect the constitution or those of us they disagree with?

We have tons of folks getting rich off of telling us the system is broken but no one but Trump is trying to fix it.

@Cyber Liberty

Thanks for that information - now I know why you never make any sense.   :yowsa:

About this upcoming vote to send the package to senate:
The house passed rules at the beginning of this determining the procedure they would use.  That could account for this upcoming vote as this vote is also to elect the "managers" who will present the evidence.  The managers are likely already selected but a vote accepting them will make a permanent record.

I have a problem with John Bolton - If he has direct evidence of what happened, if he was there, then speak it and why not have already said what he knows?  This dancing around of his means I am not buying his book.

@Cyber Liberty

Thanks for that information - now I know why you never make any sense.   :yowsa:

About this upcoming vote to send the package to senate:
The house passed rules at the beginning of this determining the procedure they would use.  That could account for this upcoming vote as this vote is also to elect the "managers" who will present the evidence.  The managers are likely already selected but a vote accepting them will make a permanent record.

I have a problem with John Bolton - If he has direct evidence of what happened, if he was there, then speak it and why not have already said what he knows?  This dancing around of his means I am not buying his book.

San Fran Nan has indicated she wants to add stuff to it that did not clear a Committee, so there may be some court issues with whatever passes tomorrow.  She resides in a State that has that legal weed that explains much.   :yowsa:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

She wanted a press extravaganza.  Handing out ceremonial pens.  She wants to be president and she's gonna take out the two rungs above her one way or another.

Without a doubt that is her goal and objective. Ceremonial pens though? The pens have her name on them!  I think she's lost her marbles.  How is she going to look once President Trump is acquitted?  Has she even considered that possibility?  Gee maybe this is why she held up sending that articles of impeachment over to the Senate -- she was waiting for her order of pens to arrive.

I was getting my car serviced and FOX news was on -- I couldn't believe that Nancy was quoting various different people as well --she has made this impeachment process about an extravaganza about herself -- she thinks this makes her famous.  :rolling:

As I've said, it's always been our founders, when they started, “When in the course of human events it becomes necessary” -- when.

Abraham Lincoln – “Four score and seven years ago.”

Thomas Paine, 'These are the times that try men's souls.'

Again and again, even our poets, Longfellow -- "Listen, my children and you will hear/Ofthe midnight ride of Paul Revere/On the 18th of April 1775/ Hardly a man is now alive/That remembers that famous day and year."

It's always about marking history, using time. On December 18th, the House of Representatives impeached the president of the United States. An impeachment that will last forever.

Nancy,
To get back to the warning that I've received, you might take it with however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It's suggested that you do stay away from that.

Back in the day in DC, when a particularly high potency batch of heroin would hit town, DC General would begin filling up with overdose cases.  The local news channels would make a public service announcement about the ODs, naming the product (e.g Black Madness) and the area where it was purchased (e.g 7th and P Streets).  Within 15 minutes, every junkie in DC would be at that corner trying to score some of that Black Madness smack.

Why do you think they call those things "Public Service Announcements"?
