Gives the house the sole power of impeachment and the power to determine its own rules. When president nixon, during the time he was going to be impeached, the chairman of the Rules Committee, chairman madden, actually spoke on house floor and announced there would be a rule governing how that proceeding would move forward. When the clinton articles of impeachment were brought forward, there was a unanimous consent request to kind of govern how we conducted ourselves. And im not sure how likely it would be that we would get a unanimous consent request. I would like to ask unanimous consent without objection to enter into the record a letter sent to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee signed by 70 republican members including kevin mccarthy, the republican leader, and basically, and let me read the key lines here, we will avail ourselves of every parliamentary tool available to us on the committee and house floor, in other words to try to delay and make this process as
impossible as
things revealed in the testimony in the current inquiry we republicans would have impeached him. joe scarborough, former republican congressman from florida, said every republican knows that donald trump was asking for dirt on joe biden in exchange for releasing military funds. i mean, let s go on to do you want to respond, mr. raskin? sure, i would be delighted to. i was justifi passed a note, i have gotten the numbers wrong, the department of defense had a $250 million appropriation for the purposes of aiding ukraine and the state had $141 million. i may have misspoken. but as to that point, again, i feel for my friends because i think they re put into a situation, put into a box, so to speak, which was what president trump was quoted as saying about what he wanted to do with president zelensky, he wanted him in a box about his statements. i think they re put into something of a corner here
jason johnson of theroot.com. you know, we promoting the root, that s big. i m generous. let s talk about this real quick. are you guys as pessimistic? are you guys on that? i have always been there. you re so cynical. right. he s a nay sayer on a lot of reasons. he s closing, and it is great he s only down by three, but it is still texas. his only saving grace is this idea you have so many over performing early voting districts, and i think a lot of pollsters don t know what the likely voters will be in 2018. that may end up saving him. that last thing you said is why i m skeptical of the polling. because you can t poll these rural districts. i think those polls are undercounting. he s been laser focussed on african-american votes. over 60% of latino voters
voter. even though black women voted overwhelmingly in the primary, she s done a great job of reaching across the aisle to some of these conservative voters that are unhappy with the rhetoric coming out of the trump campaign. i m calling it for you. i m being optimistic and i m saying she s going to win. i was following the campaign there, and the enthusiasm is incredible. let s go on to claire mccaskill. she is trying to turn against the migrants. she is doing that strategy. i just heard just from friends, you know, in missouri, she might be stregling with the african-american vote a bit. she s done. she s done. and i think every single african-american activist and political organizer i know down there, they haven t forgiven her since ferguson. but people have looked at her behavior over the last several years. and you can t win as a democrat
