Oh yeah, missed that part somehow lol, sorry about that!
Jeffries might not let it go ahead either, though. He’s quite right wing and EXTREMELY pro-corporate, so he may well have some owner donors in common with the six judicial disgraces 🤷
I mean it’s possible, but we’re asking republicans to do the right thing here; and I’m pretty sure they haven’t run out of other things to try yet, so, it’s gonna be a while.
The house requires a simple majority to impeach him. The senate conviction requires a 2/3’s votes

In the process, “impeachment” is really more like the “indictment” of a grand jury, where the house is the jury, and it just needs a majority.
You’re right that Johnson won’t let it go anywhere… but if those 4 jump ship… caucus with the dems… he wouldn’t have a say.
Don’t wake me. It’s a lovely dream, okay?
And the assent of the speaker to even let it come to a vote. Which won’t happen as long as the Jericho Johnson has the gavel.
Incorrect. The speaker has full dictatorial control of what comes up for a vote in the first place.
It could have 75% support and it still wouldn’t get past that fundie bastard.
If they flipped, and caucused with the dems as independents… Johnson wouldn’t be speaker, now would he? Jeffries or whoever would be.
It’s a pipe dream, but it’s such a very lovely pipe dream because it’s actually possible.

Republicans or Hakeem Jeffries*
Not that there’s that much of a difference 🤷
Well, it might take him less time. I think we can rely on him to skip over things like “child sacrifice” and “ritual orgy”
True.
