In addition, the state provides three weeks of in-person early voting and voting by mail for anyone who requests a ballot.

I have voted by mail and my vote is cast weeks before the polls open.  Maybe, we need to let people vote by computers at home or looking for ways to have mobile polling stations to serve these areas where the need is the greatest.  I feel the lack of polling stations will more likely have an impact on elderly voters. I feel others have no excuse because as one poster stated I would be more determined than ever to vote if I felt that we were trying to prevent me from voting.

I HAVE ONLY VOTED BY MAIL WHEN DEPLOYED OR OUT OF THE NATION.  I PREFER EXERCISING MY CIVIC DUTY IN PERSON.  I KEEP MY EARS ONLY AND LIKE TO HEAR THE CONVERSATIONS OF OTHER VOTERS.

Have not heard this option talked about much but it is something the House should likely consider if it is at all possible.

How about  the house give Mich McConnell a big dose of his own medicine (Obama supreme court pick) by keeping the bill out of the Senate until after the 2020 elections in hope that the Senate flips.

Deny republicans the opportunity to exonerate the president and let the voters remove him from office in November.   

I HOPE TO GET A RESPONSE VERY SOON FROM MY ALABAMA DEMOCRATIC SENATOR AND CONGRESSWOMAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE.  I'LL SHARE ANYTHING I RECEIVE IN RESPONSE.

THIS IS SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING INTO. IF PROVEN TRUE THAT CADET SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES FOR VIOLATION OF HIS APPOINTMENT OATH.

Is this even procedurally possible? 

I AM WORKING ON GETTING AN ANSWER TO THAT VERY QUESTION.

Wow, y'all!!!

y04 has, at last, expressed a viewpoint about something!!

Mark this date on your calendar.

Thanks, Capler, for raising this option.  Has it been discussed in the media reporting on Dem deliberations?

At first blush, I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA.

None of y04's arguments hold water IMO because all those horses are out and it's too late to close the door of the stable.

The advantage I see to HOLDING THE IMPEACHMENT IN ABEYANCE are:
- #ErraticTrump CANNOT claim to be exonerated by the Senate
- it provides time for more information to surface
- it provides more time for court decisions re: witnesses, documents and bogus claims of immunity to be adjudicated.
- since Moscow Mitch, Lindsay Graham, et. al., have announced they are violating their special Impeachment Oath to reserve judgment, no sense giving them the chance to put on a charade

And FINALLY..
When/if Bolton comes forward and/or McGahn testifies TRUTHFULLY and FULLY and additional info seeps out about Giuliani's machinations in Ukraine:
- there may be more Articles of Impeachment.



FIRST TIME IN RECENT MEMORY THAT "Y" HAS POSTED AN ACTUAL OPINION ON SOMETHING ON ONNIDAN.   MY FIRST REACTION WAS THAT IT WAS NOT AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT FROM HIM, BUT SOMETHING HE FOUND ELSEWHERE.  IN ANY EVENT, IT DOES RAISE AN INTERESTING POTENTIAL LEGISLATIVE TACTIC FOR USE AGAINST TRUMP IF IT IS IN FACT EVEN LEGAL.  I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET AN ANSWER TO THAT AS WE SPEAK.

Politics / NO SENATE TRIAL FOR THE IMPEACHED TRUMP?

« on: Yesterday at 07:42:01 PM »

FOLKS: "CAPLER" EARLIER POSTED AN INTRIGUING POSSIBILITY ON ANOTHER POST HERE ON ONNIDAN.  IT RAISES SOME VERY INTERESTING IDEAS THAT IF LEGAL JUST MIGHT TIE A SIGNIFICANT KNOW IN TRUMP's a** .  AGAIN, IT WAS HIS POST THAT I AM TAKING AND RUNNING WITH.

ESSENTIALLY, THE QUESTION/ISSUE IS; IF THE HOUSE DOES IMPEACH TRUMP's a**  NEXT WEEK ARE THEY LEGALLY BOUND TO SUBMIT THE TWO ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE SENATE FOR A SUBSEQUENT SENATORIAL TRIAL? (THOSE TWO ARTICLES ARE ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE AFFIRMED BY A HOUSE FLOOR VOTE, NEXT WEEK.)

I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER.  BUT THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I HAVE DONE.

I JUST SENT AN E-MAIL TO MY SENATOR, DOUG JONES (D) ALABAMA. ASKING ABOUT THE VIABILITY OF THIS LEGISLATIVE TACTIC.  NEXT, I AM GOING TO POSE THE SAME QUESTION TO MY ALABAMA HOUSE REPS.  STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU ALL DO THE SAME THING FOR YOUR ELECTED CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN.

IF IT IS LEGAL, WHY EVEN GIVE THE SENATE AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE IN A SENATORIAL TRIAL WHERE WE ALL KNOW TRUMP WILL NOT BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE? 

LET THE HOUSE IMPEACH TRUMP'S a**  NEXT WEEK AND NOT EVEN GIVE THE SENATE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TRUMP's a** .

TRUMP WILL STILL HAVE THE IGNOMINITY OF BEING ONE OF THREE IMPEACHED PRESIDENTS. HIS NAME WILL FOREVER HAVE AN ASTERISK (*) FOLLOWING IT  BECAUSE IT QUESTIONS HIS VALIDITY AND INTEGRITY AS A PRESIDENT.  WHY GIVE TRUMP AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIE AGAIN AND STATE HE HAS BEEN "EXONERATED"?

FOR WE ALL KNOW THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT HE WILL DO IF HE SURVIVES A SENATE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.  FOR HIM IF HE IS NOT REMOVED FROM OFFICE HE WILL DEEM THAT THE SAME AS AN ACQUITTAL.  THOSE TWO ARE NOT THE ONE AND SAME.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ELECTED CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN TO ASCERTAIN THE LEGALITY OF THIS TACTIC AND IF NOTHING ELSE THE TO PUT A BUG IN THEIR EAR OF YOUR CONGRESS REPS ABOUT A POSSIBLE LEGAL POLITICAL TACTIC TO USE AGAINST THE a**  THAT OCCUPIES THE WHITE HOUSE.

THAT IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE HEARD IN WEEKS.
