House Democrats will file a resolution on Friday to block Trump's fake national emergency, forcing Republicans to go on record about whether they support Trump's reckless plan.
<snip>
The resolution will put House Republicans on record about whether they support Trumps blatant disregard of the Constitutions separation of power.
But it also pigeon holes Mitch McConnell and his caucus of Senate Republicans, who will be required to take up the resolution. Typically, McConnell could ignore legislation passed by the House. But this specific type of resolution will require the Senates vote. - ShareBlue

I think that when Barr drop a nuclear bomb on the investigation, that's when all indictments are unsealed and a flurry of arrests are made, all a once with video and mugshots available for the morning news. I'd be good with that.
Still holding out hope for a new president for the holidays, better if it's the one in July!
