Which the Democrats should absolutely fucking do regardless of whether The Republicans will vote to convict, which of course they won’t, but the point is, we can’t just sit back and do nothing. We have to at least show that we’re willing to take the steps that are necessary to dissent.
They could at least introduce the resolution. It’s not a true win, but at least they don’t continue to be seen just lying down and taking it.
Mike Johnson won't bring it to the floor.
It can be introduced as a “privileged resolution“ which bypasses Johnson’s ability to do that. That said the GOP still has a number of options to table it, or refer it to committee, but at least that bypasses that fuckwad Johnson. This fucking government I swear to God. Can we just please have a constitutional convention already?
I'm not particularly confident that a constitutional convention would end positively. You need 3/4 of state legislatures to agree to any change and Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to reach that threshold. The most realistic outcome is probably an amendment banning DEI initiatives or corporate tax rates above 10% or some shit like that.
Impeach Johnson, too. Throw them all out via the 14th amendment. I'm so tired of the republicans being consistently the worst people on earth.
Might as well. They don't seem to be doing anything else.
Doesn't matter.
Every impeachable offense needs to be processed. The time the GOP spends defending him is time they aren't spending actively destroying the world.
Plus, we need to have a clear and firm record of who supports his actions.
even if there were, the gop would never convict him, the last 2 times showed us that.
