On the recordJanuary 8, 2020
After the unprecedented impeachment witch hunt conducted in the Chamber this past year, Speaker Pelosi has still not transmitted the sham Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. This would seem to fly in the face of common sense, the Constitution, and precedent. It is not just Republicans who have been saying how ridiculous this is. Speaker Pelosi's refusal to transmit the articles is now coming under scrutiny from her own fellow Democrats in the Senate. One Senator said, ``She should send the articles over''; another, ``Let us do what we have to do over here''; and, finally, a third Democratic Senator, ``I'm hoping they will come over here soon. I think most people are ready to get this moving on.'' The only thing that Speaker Pelosi's 3-week charade has done is show the public the weakness of Democrats' case and show, indeed, he has not been given a safe political process and it is all for theater. Please, Ms. Pelosi, please, Speaker Pelosi, allow the Senate to get on with the people's work: to pass USMCA, to lower healthcare costs, and to improve our infrastructure. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair. ____________________
