Graham urges Senate rules change to speed impeachment trial
Seeking to break a deadlock over President Donald Trump’s impeachment, a top Republican said Sunday he will push a change in rules that would allow a Senate trial to move forward immediately if Democrats do not agree to its format this week.
He is urging blatantly unconstitutional behavior upon the senate, reportedly to please the Duce and express his impatience.
The constitution consigns the role of prosecuting in the senate to the house.
Can't proceed without prosecution and can't deny that role to the house.
But it seems there is a concerted strategy of Republicans emerging to force Pelosi to send over the articles of impeachment and thus clear the way for some quick senate cover-up while the press is obsessed with the new Iran/Iraq crisis.
Or just to say fuck it and ditch the thing unconstitutionally.
