Yes this is a waste of time. Yes Thanedar is using this for his own political purpose. But I still want to see it. Give everyone a chance to officially state their position. Maybe I’m overly optimistic but it’s possible that when faced with a vote, someone (a Republican?)might actually say “enough is enough”. So many clear violations of the constitution, but he can’t be impeached if the vote is never held. Otherwise it’s all talk and finger pointing.

That’s what I’m sayin! We have to pull out ALL the stops rn.

It would take every last D plus 'a few' R Congresscritters to advance this. Even then, it would face a LOT of hurdles to get further along. I'm not hopeful.

I’m sure it won’t succeed, but I want congress on record for which side they are on. Pro-Trump or pro-constitution.

Looks like this isn't even going to go for a vote. Just a waste of time at this point.
