If you believe its a good strategy for Democrats to rush an Impeachment vote...

...what will your response be when Republicans rush an Impeachment Trial vote and then move on to the Supreme Court appointment?

[Cosmo Blues]

1. At least

We delayed it a minute, and Bill Barr's atrocities will be on record as the only attorney general to be impeached

[brooklynite]

2. If "delaying it a minute" puts the Election at risk, I'm thinking "no".

3. Me too. We can't stop it...let's get it over with.

[FBaggins]

7. Chances are pretty solid

That at least 17 of 232 Democrats in the House agree with you.

Which means it isn't going to happen.

Best possible result is that her confirmation is delayed a little? Worst possible result is that it costs us the election.

Yeah... easy decision.

4. No, election , election and election...the only thing Congress should do is bring the stimulus bill

to the floor everyday damn day. Only political junkies like us care about Barr.

5. Impeach Someone Else, Sir

Not necessarily advocating it, but there are scads and scores of malefactors who are subject ti impeachment and trial. Nor is there any 'double jeopardy' in impeachment. Kavanaugh, for instance, could be impeached separately on each single instance of his perjury during the confirmation hearings, no need to bundle everything into one indictment. He made many false statements. Barr commits an impeachable offense before breakfast every day, it would take a good while to run out of them.

The optics of the thing might not go over well, but that is not certain. I am inclined to trust professionals' judgement in such matters. But it is a course I confess a certain fondness for --- it has a smash-mouth quality that appeals to me.

6. Impeachment of both Barr and Trump should be immediately after election
