After they impeach their governor, they should impeach their president.

I should note this is only happening because the governor's own party disavowed him almost immediately and joined the calls for resignation, then eventually threatened impeachment. The opposition party has favored impeachment but had way less direct power or leverage on this.

It's not so much "can't" as it is "won't threaten the stability of the entire nation by sending New York State Police to Washington DC to arrest the President, during which time they'll have to shoot their way through the secret service".

I should note that there are a lot of hurdles to clear to enter a class action suit- it's very complex and difficult. This appears to indicate that most but not all of those hurdles are cleared.

Is anyone else worried about the fact almost all voting is done on an electronic voting machines now? I find it even more worrisome going into 2020 than I did back in 2016.

The new voting machines being used here print out a little receipt that the voter gets to see behind some glass, and then drops that receipt into a metal box.

Why don't they just seize all his property and accounts in NY state and charge it with a crime since that is a thing you can do in America?

Good money is on them demanding further investigations, which will probably carry forward into the election cycle and give them more talking points.

Yeah barring some smoking gun coming out, there will be no better time than right now to support impeachment. You can use “I was waiting for Mueller to testify” as your excuse as to why you didn’t support it until now, but waiting makes no sense.

We'll see where this poo poo show goes, but I've got my reservations about how impeachment proceedings would play out. Don't get me wrong, this dickhead had at least a dozen impeachable offenses under his belt before he finished the oath of office (which he's also broken), but I don't know that today's proceedings are enough to get the American people on board.

The point isn't to actually impeach him. It's to have hearings every week that are embarrassing to him and keep his crimes in the news from now till the election.

Unless the caucus is threatening to revolt, Pelosi won't impeach. She clearly thinks that it is the better political move and is unwilling to change her mind on the issue
