It's not cold feet. Only trying to get some leverage to get a fairer trial and if that fails then to publicize that it will be a FIXED trial.

To have witnesses at the trial, particularly Mulvaney and Bolton.

All it takes is a few republican votes to force this on McConnell.

As if McConnell is going to go against his own interests. 3 more judges just got confirmed.

Yang was a refreshing breath of fresh air in an otherwise lackluster event.

He has the clearest of mind among the others. He always give the most simple and easy to understand solutions. Unfortunately his ideas are just too ahead of times especially under current political quagmire and focus on defeating Trump.

They are just being laughed at now. Just a sad bunch of losers.

He's very likeable. Perhaps he has a future in stand up comedy?

Calm down. Nobody has said they will be permanently held up. Of course they will be transmitted sooner or later, probably sooner. So any way you cut it -- yes, he is IMPEACHED.

Who cares? Like I said it will be transmitted so you're just playing academic games. A delay does NOT mean never.

Yet they are laughing at Trump. That will set the bar pretty low for Trump.

The issue seems to be that per the clear wording in the Constitution, the House has sole responsibility for the process up until the point that the President is impeach, and the Senate has sole responsibility for the process after the President is impeached. It makes no mention of it needing to be sent to the Senate by the house. 
 

So the argument is that there are only  two possible scenarios:

 

1. As the House has not sent it up, the President is not actually impeached. 
 

And

 

2. The President is impeached, and the House has no more authority over the process, and the Senate can do as it pleases with it. 
 

Either way it’s a win for the House, as Nancy will say the evil Republicans coerced her into expediting the release or having the vote cancelled, or that the Evil Republicans are again weaponizing the Constitution to undermine democracy. 
 

The press will support her either way it goes.

And as a US citizen that is generally happy with his performance, why should I care that they are laughing?

I passed Obama’s loyalty test as well. 
 

Why should I feel shame and indignation, because the left thinks I should?
