Impeachment 101

I put my questions in yesterday, so they are on the bottom of the stack. It was a long tweet, so I will put it here and send it up again.


Are we in a compressed redux of 1974? We went from transcripts to tapes the same day. How long until motions to quash are lost and appeals denied? US v Richard Nixon is still valid. 

Will McConnell let testimony go on? Mike Murphy counts 30 GOP Senators who would convict secretly. During this work period, what will donors and voters say? When will Mitch McConnell and Mike Pence pull the plug and do a Goldwater to save the party?

When will Secret Service go from protection to detention? Walter Reed, Navy Yard Brig? DC jail?!! Will Pence pardon Trump now or Jan 19, 2021 or not at all?

Can Pence beat Warren? (Assume that a two-term promise nocks Bernie and  Biden out of the race - either now or in Iowa) Will the GOP circle wagons around Pence or will there be a nomination be free for all? I am certain this is already under discussion. All us in play. The more interesting question is why has the media not mentioned the 25th Amendment or Pence 2020?

June v Gee on Louisiana's Trap Laws in conference with cert decision announced Oct 7. Denial repeals Roe, Cert opens question, Per Curiam reversal ends debate with 8 or 9 pro Roe justices. Why has this not been reported? What is election like without Roe or will result be ignored? If not, will it and delay on invoking the 25th Amendment doom Pence?

This brings us back to question of what will GOP donors do? We live in interesting times.

If Pence implicated, will he invoke 25th Amendment as part of plea deal? Will Speaker Pelosi serve or make JoeBiden Speaker to have some time as President? Will she trust Pence to not time his resignation to make President ProTempore Chuck Grassley POTUS? Will Joe keep running or make Senator Warren VP, in what amounts to making her the as next POTUS?

Has Rachel Bitecofer polled Pence, Biden and Bernie options?
