Nicely done, Sen. Harris.

He will be trying to poison the well.

She did try to get him kicked off of Twitter at the October or November debate.

and hope her time at the top (WH) has just not yet come.

Why would Mitch do that? There is absolutely nothing in it for him or the Republicans in the Senate or Trump himself.

and this would follow that precedent.

The articles were delivered December 19, the trial started on January 7 and the verdict was rendered on February 9. The Senate would have been in recess for most of the time between the delivery of the articles and the commencement of the trial.

I highly doubt McConnell would concede that there was any agreement not to consider nominees while the impeachment trial was underway and I doubt that anyone could point to any evidence of such an agreement. Moreover, it is far from clear that the impeachment held up any activity on judicial nominations. The last date on which Clinton nominees were confirmed before the impeachment articles were delivered was nearly two months before the articles were delivered (in October when 17 judges were confirmed on the same day) and the earliest date after his acquittal on which any of his nominees were confirmed was two months afterwards, in April.

Pretty easy for McConnell to ignore Harris' request under the circumstances.

They will keep being appointed.

Which is why they’re rushing to pass USMCA before the trial starts.

I'm sure we all know how rethuglicans will respond to that suggestion, though.

they got away with getting holding up Garland to put that pervert Kavanaugh on the SC, they know no one will stop them from doing what they want, which is royally FUCKING America

They would even do it on the eve of the election if they had to.
