@SecDef19 The House should move immediately to impeach again. No time to waste, build pressure on the Senate to convict & remove. prospect.org/impeachment/tr…
@SecDef19 For maximum chances of Senate conviction, the House should be hearing & impeaching on everything #ImpeachForThePeople dailykos.com/story/2019/12/…
@SecDef19 The House Democrats should abandon the establishment-preserving narrow #impeachment strategy that risks acquittal & therefore full-blown fascism & instead fulfill their oaths to defend the whole Constitution & build public pressure to secure removal dailykos.com/story/2019/12/…
@SecDef19 Call your congressperson, folks. Any one of them can bring a privileged motion to the House floor & force a vote on more articles of impeachment, to either be heard in cmte or passed outright #ExpandTheArticles
@SecDef19 New post that brings this together: dailykos.com/story/2020/1/7…

(Thread 1/15) Some thoughts on today’s #impeachment news, which I wrote about @yesmagazine here: yesmagazine.org/opinion/2019/1…
Start with the basics: the House will likely vote to impeach Trump and the Senate will vote to acquit. Is there a point to this process? I argue yes, for two reasons. (2/15)
One: moral. The impeachment clause in the Constitution was created by the framers to avoid an entirely foreseeable consequence: a ruler who is corrupt, criminal, and/or subject to foreign influence. (3/15)

There's a ton of stuff going on with respect to impeachment and a lot is going to happen (maybe even before you finish reading this thread). So quick recap of where we are + action items:
First: Dems are having a meeting on impeachment at 4pm today (1 hour!). Our *immediate* ask is cal call your MoCs and urge them to publicly support impeachment. Here’s the link or text IMPEACH to 97779. indivisible.org/demand-your-me…
Calls are the most impactful thing right now because House Democrats are going to set direction on this in the next 24 hours or less and they need to hear from us right away.

A short thread on #impeachment.

I have pre-existing conditions—I fear my life & that of my friends being taken away.
I have close friends with DACA—I fear their right to be here being taken away.
I'm a Latino parent—I fear my child will be discriminated against worse than I was
I'm the survivor of an in-person death threat against me & my family, from a MAGA extremist who hated me just for who I am—I fear him or another carrying out those threats.

I'm an attorney—I fear the erosion of the rule of law.
I'm a patriot—I fear Russian interference in the 2020 election.

I'm a voting rights advocate—I fear a system is currently being created that will lead to permanent minority rule, & that that minority will use political power to permanently restricts the rights of the majority.

A note on #impeachment -

In a court of law, under non-presidential circumstances, impeachment is a tool litigation attorneys use to discredit the opposing side's witnesses at trial. When said witness takes the stand under oath attys. present evidence contrary to what the witness
claims. This weakens the other side's case by discrediting impeached witnesses's testimony. Once a witness has been impeached - by presentment of inconsistent testimony - the judge/jury can no longer use the impeached witnesses's testimony in reaching a verdict.
Simply put, they aren't trustworthy. In the case of Presidential impeachment that broad definition of impeachment applies, but the impeachment tool is used for a very different purpose. Under the Constitution, a sitting President cannot be tried in a court of law for anything.

Lets talk about #Impeachment. I want to offer you a view of WHY the House of Representatives should start impeachment hearings immediately and why this is VERY bad for Mitch McConnell in the Senate. Any member of the House can initiate impeachment proceedings. This is a thread...
The impeachment initiative must be voted on in several House committees, if it passes these committees it goes to the House floor to be debated and ultimately voted on with a simple majority. If it passes it is reported (sent) to the Senate where all the evidence from the ...
