Eleven Senate Republicans co-sponsor resolution to dismiss impeachment articles against Trump

Nearly a dozen Senate Republicans have put forth a resolution that, if passed, would seek to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump immediately.

"The Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment, not the House," said Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who introduced the resolution, in a statement Monday. "If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi is afraid to try her case, the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back to doing the people’s business."

The resolution would change Senate rules to allow the upper chamber to vote on articles of impeachment if the House fails to send the articles over within 25 days. Pelosi has so far refused to send the articles because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will not commit to having witnesses at the trial.

We are not going through that again, this is like Iraq. Putting so many people in harm's way.

But how many of us said he was going to start a fucking war, I wish that assumption was wrong, but then we are dealing with a sick ass thug.

I can get any sicker at the way they bend over and cover up for Rump. Sometimes I feel like I’m living in the Twilight Zone

trump has something on those who push the hardest to defend him. I don't know what it is but they are scared to death he will use it on them if they don't do what he wants.

They are putting themselves before the country they took an oath to defend.
