He is the Senate Majority Leader.

Mitch McConnell has finally joined in the attack on Nancy Pelosi. He wanted everyone to know that Nancy Pelosi did not get anything from her "delay" in sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. Some might say that the minimum that she got, was an extra week or two, to permit the good and honest Senators to think and contemplate on the magnitude of the vote they were about to take?

As if she were enjoying the responsibility - but necessity - of defending our Constitution?


McConnell doesn't seem to understand the part of the Constitution about separation of powers? Nor the part about the equal Branches of government? Nor the idea that no man is above the law?


What does that mean? That means that each branch of the government should defend itself and its institution, as not favoring the Executive or the Judicial or the Legislative, but standing for the equal protection, under law, of each Branch. He should be extra cognitive about his duty to protect the institution of the Senate as more than just a political exercise, as written in the Constitution. He must be impartial.


Mitch McConnell, to a large degree, gets to determine the future of the Republican Party, as he awaits the Articles of Impeachment.
