Fenix🔥 Resistance Starts NOW@GottaLaff This sounds great but I’m sure there will be someone who comes along to explain why this was a stupid/bad idea.
Symbolic or not, I feel it’s needed
Old Man in the ShoeThey will but they'll be Republicans and Russians likely and not worth listening to.
tobie@GottaLaff @jenzi @Fenix Will the articles get a hearing on the floor? That's my only question. I'm assuming Republicans control what hearings are held in the House but I could be wrong about this. Making a stink on TV about the GOP not allowing hearings would be another option, I guess.

"Will the articles get a hearing on the floor? "
No. That's not how it works when the minority party files articles of impeachment. Instead the articles sit on a shelf, gathering dust until the term of congress expires. Do you remember the 2017 articles of impeachment of mangolini? No? That's because they went nowhere. Not even a blip in the media, except a local district note of the critter who filed them.
Filing articles of impeachment when you're in the minority party accomplishes nothing. It's a political stunt catering to the hyperaware party faithful. It's also a stunt if you're in the majority, unless the Speaker is on board.
@artemesia It's a stunt yes, but it gets press and draws attention to a major issue. I'm glad she's doing it. @tobie1 @jenzi @Fenix

I wonder if this might add to the pressure Merrick Garland is under, now that two Senators have just requested these two justices be investigated by a special prosecutor?
DocHollidayBut we can dream of taking back the house and kicking the two of them out on their 🍑’s

Good reason to start now, bring it to the floor when you get power. Just another reason to vote in more Democrats, hopefully this will motivate people. Then we can hope that a public hearing would at least garner support to pack the court.
@jenzi i believe the support is there. I HATE that term. It’s not packing the court when you are matching justices to federal judicial districts. 13 districts = 13 justices. Simple. SCOTUS has had 6 changes of the number of justices since 1897 (I might have the year wrong).
