The sooner Trump is removed, the more time Pence has to make a better name for himself prior to the election. If evangelicals stick with Trump and he loses and takes his Senate majority with him, then evangelicals will have lost everything - except their lifetime judicial appointments. http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-rep-sen.html But particularly if McConnell succeeds in installing another reactionary Supreme Court justice, Democrats will have a real incentive to expand the size of the court as soon as they can. Interesting question - can they expand the size of the court by simple majority or do they need 60 votes? The best reason not to expand the court is to avoid a precedent that the Republicans will act upon as soon as they can. == topic impeachment 1 ===== hide 1 impact 77 impactrate 1 negative 1 posted 2019-12-19 priority 1 ratio 5 react 4 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 3 title Editorial in Christianity Today, founded by Billy Graham. topic impeachment wordrate 1 words 193 ID 1026493347695184 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1026493347695184 audclicks 3 audreach 3 engaged 3 hideclicks 1 hideclicksusers 1 impress 26 likeclickusers 3 likeuimpress 20 likeuusers 19 matchedlinkclicks 2 matchedotherclicks 1 negclicks 1 negusers 1 oimpress 26 oreach 21 posted "12/19/2019 09:11:40 PM" postlinkclicks 2 postotherclicks 1 reach 21 type Link ========== 2019 is not 1998. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/opinion/trump-impeachment-clinton.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/opinion/steny-hoyer-trump-impeachment.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/18/impeachment-isnt-democrats-vs-republicans-its-right-vs-wrong/ https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/opinion/trump-impeachment-fbi.html == topic impeachment ===== impact 6 impactrate 0 likeimpress 6 negative 0 posted 2019-12-18 ratio 4 react 9 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title 2019 is not 1998. topic impeachment wordrate 0 words 7 ID 1025339797810539 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1025339797810539 audclicks 2 audreach 2 engaged 7 impress 46 likeclickusers 7 likeimpress 6 likeuimpress 37 likeusers 6 likeuusers 35 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 46 oreach 41 posted "12/18/2019 04:28:29 PM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 1 reach 41 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link ========== Believe it or not, Trump had help with his letter. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/18/trump-is-getting-one-kind-accountability-he-fears/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-rips-democrats-for-attempted-coup-on-eve-of-likely-impeachment/2019/12/17/f7e4d484-20db-11ea-bed5-880264cc91a9_story.html I hope there aren't any copies of the rough draft floating around! == topic impeachment ===== comments 1 hide 2 impact 20 impactrate 0 likeimpress 3 negative 2 posted 2019-12-18 ratio 2 react 8 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title Believe it or not, Trump had help with his letter. topic impeachment wordrate 0 words 25 ID 1025277064483479 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1025277064483479 audclicks 2 audreach 2 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 4 hideclicks 2 hideclicksusers 2 impress 22 likeclickusers 4 likeimpress 3 likeuimpress 17 likeusers 3 likeuusers 17 matchedotherclicks 2 negclicks 2 negusers 2 oimpress 22 oreach 19 posted "12/18/2019 02:33:17 PM" postotherclicks 2 reach 19 type Link ========== The eve of impeachment https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/17/opinion/impeachment-trump.html == topic impeachment ===== comments 1 impact 6 impactrate 0 likeimpress 4 negative 0 posted 2019-12-17 ratio 3 react 8 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 3 title The eve of impeachment topic impeachment wordrate 0 words 7 ID 1024589461218906 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1024589461218906 audclicks 3 audreach 2 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 5 impress 33 likeclickusers 5 likeimpress 4 likeuimpress 27 likeusers 4 likeuusers 26 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 2 oimpress 33 oreach 29 posted "12/17/2019 09:00:46 PM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 1 reach 29 type Link ========== He doubled down when he felt vindicated by the Mueller report as interpreted by Barr.

While this got pretty corrupt, it did mean that senators did not face popular elections. They were supposed to take the long view (like the House of Lords) instead of the short view of the House of Representatives (and the House of Commons). Now US senators face popular elections, 33 or more every two years. We can see now what that means - Republican senators are terrified of the Trumpist/Putinist base and seem to have lost the capacity for free will and taking any kind of long view. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/13/mcconnells-awful-hannity-interview-shows-power-fox-news-disinformation/ Impeachment doesn't require a professorship in constitutional law.

It's an assault on the very IDEA of America. It's waging war on the abstract Enlightenment ideals of the Founders, and the specific concrete form of those ideals in our Constitution, with its central notion of separation of powers that check ambition by ambition. Authoritarians don't care for checks on their ambition. The deep state that so offends Trump is actually the constitutional government of laws bequeathed us by the Founders. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/05/democrats-are-debating-dangerous-false-choice-impeachment/ It used to be the criterion for "unAmerican" activity was seeking to alter the form of government of the United States by non-constitutional means.

RETIRE THE 23! “If you’re President Putin and you see Trump acquitted, you can continue doing what you’re doing and there will be no penalties to pay for it.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-gop-support-hardens-despite-damning-impeachment-testimony/2019/11/23/b1625d6c-0d6f-11ea-bd9d-c628fd48b3a0_story.html What should Democratic presidential candidates do about that? Retire the 23 Putin enablers! Of course, the message from Putin is "let the voters decide" in another election that he will be delighted to influence in every possible way as Republicans pointedly look the other way. To preserve minority rule, you have to do or not do whatever it takes. politicalscrapbooknet has been referring to the Republican Party as "Trumpists." This was a mistake. The correct term is "Putinists." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/21/us/politics/fiona-hill-impeachment-ukraine.html There may never have been a need for explicit collusion or conspiracy if the collaboration has been coincidental - different ideological starting points coinciding with the same strategy and tactics to undermine our democracy based on the Enlightenment principles of America's founders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Enlightenment This is the real impeachable offense, and it applies to the entire Trump administration and apparently all the Republicans in Congress. Regardless of Putin's efforts, Republicans have been collaborating of their own free will, though Trump's personal interests may never be revealed. His efforts to obstruct all inquiries by all means possible suggest Trump has secrets worth knowing rather than that Trump is an innocent victim of a deep state conspiracy. The only thing that will refocus Republican senators' minds is fear of losing their seat in the 2020 election and fear of losing their Senate majority, or worse the Democrats betting 60 votes in the Senate. That's why Democratic presidential candidates should be condemning Republican senate Putinist collaborators rather than each other. They need to get Republican senators more anxious about the 2020 general election than the 2020 primaries. If the Democrats can do that, Republican congressional support for Trump will evaporate overnight. Let each Democratic presidential candidate pick out a specific Republican senator up for election in 2020 - there are 23 of them - and devote a minute of their next debate to putting out the facts about what that Republican senator has done to overthrow truth and logic, and promote Putin's foreign policy goals, in order to protect Republican minority rule! Let the voters decide indeed - among the Democratic presidential candidates according to the clarity they bring to the Senate elections. Not one of those 23 Republicans has said that Trump might have committed an impeachable offense. Not one has said that they would not have impeached Obama for the same acts. Retire the 23! https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_elections,_2020#Seats_up_for_election https://www.rollcall.com/news/10-vulnerable-senators-2020-republicans-play-defense Not all the 23 can be defeated in 2020, unless a major recession has started by election day. But all that's necessary is to induce an attitude adjustment among the likely survivors - when it comes to voting on Trump's conviction and removal, perhaps Republican senators should just vote "present." That way they can say they didn't vote to remove Trump, or they can say that they didn't vote to exonerate Trump, whichever seems to be more advantageous in days to come. It won't surprise anybody if they say the one thing on odd days and the opposite on even days, to cover all their bases. Make them think about those next steps they need to take - http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-rep-sen.html RETIRE THE 23! https://www.dscc.org/ As for all the Democratic presidential candidates. There seem to be too many, but each has a particular story to tell. In addition to laying out the facts about their assigned Republican senator and Putinism, let them sell their particular version of the Democratic program. And let them talk about the structural changes necessary for any Democratic program to succeed - End dark money in politics! End gerrymandering and voter suppression! Reduce rural bias! Elect state legislators and governors committed to fair redistricting! Structural changes sound boring to most voters, but if all the candidates repeat the importance, it might sink in. The Putinists have had remarkable success repeating lies until people believe them. Why not try repeating the truth until people believe it? If Democratic candidates waste ammunition on the each other, they will just be poster children for why we have too many Democratic presidential candidates. If Bloomberg spends his millions telling people what's wrong with Putinism and what the positive change any Democratic government could bring, that would be a good thing. If he spends all his money promoting himself and bad-mouthing the other Democratic candidates, he will just be a poster child for why we don't need any more old rich white men in politics. http://www.political-scrapbook.net/2019-retire-23.html == topic impeachment ===== comments 1 impact 2567 impactrate 3 likeimpress 16 negative 0 posted 2019-11-24 ratio 2 react 34 reactrate 0 shares 2 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 15 title Respond to Putinism!

The President can't be prosecuted because that's the job of Congress. Congress can't impeach the President because Congress can't investigate the President because of executive privilege. The impeachment clause of the Constitution only applies when the President voluntarily accepts impeachment. So the President can do whatever he wants with impunity. If this gets to the Supreme Court, we'll see if the justices remember what they agreed to before he nominated them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-broad-claims-of-executive-immunity-lead-to-criticism-he-is-acting-above-the-law/2019/10/09/b8811be8-eaaa-11e9-9c6d-436a0df4f31d_story.html The House Democrats have a few options - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/10/opinion/impeachment-contempt-congress.html Republican senators are right to get bent out of shape about Syria, but this is a much graver matter about which most are conspicuously silent.

Mostly they want to talk about something else, but that's the moral equivalent of bone spurs. Bone spur Republican senators will be remembered as kindly as their predecessors who weren't sure about the 13th Amendment. But it's time to put aside politics for a while and practice statesmanship. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/03/us/politics/trump-china-bidens.html Conscientious statesmen Republican senators might follow a four part plan - 1) Urge Trump to be fully and consistently presidential for the rest of his time in office, whether it's five years or five days. Presidential for all the people, not imperial, not mafiosish. No more obstruction, and appoint one and only one representative to discuss impeachment issues (the man who represents himself has a fool for a client and an ass for an attorney). https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/04/us/politics/republicans-trump-defense.html If it's all a big nothingburger then it won't hurt to provide all the witnesses and documents the Democrats want. Urge Trump to devote his time to making progress on workable issues like drug prices, background checks on gun purchases, and infrastructure - bills that the House has passed and the Senate has refused to consider. That way, when the Senate trial reaches the point of voting for or against conviction and removal, the Republican senator has a defensible basis for voting against. If Trump won't or can't, then 2) Urge Trump to resign in return for a full pardon from President Pence. The pardon not because Trump deserves it, but because the country deserves to get past Trump as soon as possible. Note that a presidential pardon does not cover state or civil matters. If Trump won't, then 3) Urge Pence to activate the 25th Amendment, again with a full pardon for Trump is he goes along promptly and quietly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Section_4:_Declaration_by_vice_president_and_principal_officers If Pence won't or can't, then 4) Urge the House Democrats to bring forward an impeachment resolution as quickly as possible, so the Senate can act on it and move on from there. Whether the Senate convicts and removes or not, Republican senators are going to have to do a lot of explaining to do, either in the next primary or the next general election. They should plan to do this early and often so they get good at it, because if all the previous plans fail, they can count on Trump generating new impeachable offenses and new impeachment resolutions from the House. As Darren Kavinoky keeps telling radio audiences in California... JUST SHUT UP! Hanging over all of this is the inevitable recession that follows every recovery. Too bad for Republicans if it becomes apparent before the election and they are still standing with Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/03/opinion/trump-economy.html == topic impeachment ===== impact 483 impactrate 1 likeimpress 3 negative 0 posted 2019-10-03 priority 1 ratio 4 react 11 reactrate 0 shares 3 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 5 title What should Republican senators do now? topic impeachment wordrate 1 words 439 ID 959418034402716 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/959418034402716 audclicks 5 audreach 3 engaged 6 impress 91 likeclickusers 4 likeimpress 3 likeuimpress 33 likeusers 3 likeuusers 30 matchedotherclicks 5 oimpress 91 oreach 44 posted "10/03/2019 04:19:50 PM" postotherclicks 3 reach 44 sharesimpress 3 sharesusers 3 type Link ========== National jury duty coming up.
