I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I'm assuming the senate vote isn't a anonymous thing?
There was some talk of making it that way due to witness tampering/threats from Trump and his team, but it never panned out to anything from what I can tell.  I think it would yield a very different result if it were anonymous.

So any bets on what the Senate will do?
Sit on it?
Immediate vote to acquit?
An actual trial?

Yes, how could that possibly happen?

The important part of my statement was the three years. Obama was momentarily as unpopular, Trump has been in that 53 to 56 percent zone disapprove for nearly his whole term.

Jet: I see.

The Republicans have long become a radical reactionary party and doubled down on Trump. They'll acquit him with record speed.

Definitely not sit on it.  For one thing McConnel probably wants to get it all done before the Bolton, Mulvaney et al subpoenas make their way through the courts.

I don't know, that might not sit well with moderate voters. If they still exist, that is.

I think McRussian sits on it. He sits on everything & the senators need to go campaign.

That's about where he was when he got elected in 2016. Now he's going to in part run against the House in 2020 for impeaching him and the legislative is always more unpopular than the executive.  :hmm:

Well one option I've heard thrown around is that the House might not immediately send it to the Senate - that Pelosi might sit on it.  This would be a means of leverage to try and ensure fair terms of a trial in the Senate.
