Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t rule out impeachment proceedings as a way to block the Senate from confirming President Donald Trump’s eventual Supreme Court nominee, saying Sunday that Democrats have “arrows in our quiver” to stall the process.
Few people expected Trump supporters to all wipe their asses with the Constitution. I did. But, most people believed that even the Deplorables would put country over Cult. Naïve of them, I know.Oh sure...cuz it worked out so well last time
Nutty Nancy must really like the idea of Trump winning in November.
Based on what I read, nobody thinks a person can be seated before Nov 3rd. If he losses but tries to proceed, that would be brazen and probably unpopular. I just wonder if Pelosi would actually have the time table to impeach. What a mess.Pelosi Won’t Rule Out Impeachment to Block Trump SCOTUS Pick

By any means necessary, Girl. With the Far Right already holding a 5-3 edge in the High Court, this is a fight the Dems have to win.
I'm no fan of Nancy Pelosi, but I'll admit I'm glad she's there right now with her pocket full of dirty tricks. She's definitely our best hope. Collins and Murkowski have already objected to filling the vacancy before the election, but I don't know that it helps much. That still leaves plenty of time in the lame duck session.Pelosi Won’t Rule Out Impeachment to Block Trump SCOTUS Pick

Exactly. Last time I checked we elected Trump for 4 years...not 3 and some change.Pelosi, who is full of donkey poo btw, is simply trying to create more division, while pandering for votes. She knows she can't impeach the president for appointing a SC justice.
Nor did she claim they would impeach him for appointing an SC justice. Only that impeachment was a way to slow down or stop the nomination process. Also, you can impeach a president for almost anything, you just need a majority vote in the house to do so.Pelosi, who is full of donkey poo btw, is simply trying to create more division, while pandering for votes.

OUCHIE! Dems are certainly going to be angry at Obama.Indeed we did... even Obama would agree with the above.
"When there is a vacancy on the SCOTUS, the President is to nominate someone, the Senate is to consider that nomination... There's no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off-years. That's not in the Constitution text." Barack Obama
Yes. I know that. I am saying that most people don’t think Trump could have have a judge seated before Nov 3rd. If he losses, seating a judge would be seen very unpopular, but that wouldn’t stop him. If Pelosi threatens impeachment at that point, would that even be reasonable? Could see even get the impeachment completed in that small time frame? That’s what I was questioning.They would actually have till January 3.
If she attempts to impeach him, it will hurt Biden, and Trump wins the election.
But most experts don’t think a new person can be seated before Nov 3rd. If Biden wins, and Trump tries to precede in the lame duck session which ends in January 2021, with Biden in the wing to be the next president, then it renders your entire argument about hurting Biden’s bid as mootIf she attempts to impeach him, it will hurt Biden, and Trump wins the election.

Have you heard a Trump speech lately?Looks like Pelosi lost yet another screw. Won't be long now until it all falls apart.
The objective of an impeachment wouldn't be for a conviction of whomever was impeached.
Senate rules require an impeachment by the House to be taken up immediately, all other business stopped and all Senators in attendance.
So any nomination would be placed on hold. Then its just a matter of running out the clock. The question would be the Senate rules.
I hope they are dumb enough to try it.Pelosi Won’t Rule Out Impeachment to Block Trump SCOTUS Pick
