The first impeachment in a generation is about to hit the House floor — but not before a final burst of partisan rancor and an abrupt, if temporary, delay from the House Judiciary Committee.
The committee began formally debating the articles late Wednesday night, with lawmakers making direct appeals to their colleagues across the aisle. The debate continued late into the night on Thursday as Republicans offered several amendments to chip away at the articles of impeachment; all were doomed to fail on party-line votes.
Republican leaders have been working intensely to ensure that none of their rank-and-file colleagues join Democrats in favor of impeachment, and so far they are confident they have succeeded.
NormEisen Everyone -please listen to NPR's coverage this am (13 dec) NPR blamed dems process for the partisan rancor NPR is not our friend !!
After filling the chamber w/ 🐂💩🐄💩🐓💩🐈💩🐎💩🐩💩 They needed to bring in a bulldozer to clean it up!
Remember when the Republicans sat on Merrick Garlands nomination to the Supreme Court and never held a hearing for him. I do.
Smartest move in this entire thing
It seems that deep state takes place on the stage and prevent impeachment.. Democratic Party can’t make independent decisions..
At least Republicans weren’t watching golf 😂
this will go down in history as one the biggest political shams ever. an impeachment without a crime. what a joke the dems are. (p.s. i wonder if the delay on the final vote had anything to do with the conservative landslide victory in the UK. 🧐)
Yeah… Republicans are mad because everyone gets to go home and think now
ChristineAno And Doug Collins whined like a little snowflake.
WE WANT THEM HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FARCE THEY HAVE ENGAGED IN. WASTING OUR TAX PAYER MONIES . 3 YRS OF THIS CRAP ! WHEN THEY COULD HAVE BEEN DOING GOOD FOR U.S. THESE IDIOTS NEED REPLACING ! BOOT THEM OUT ! OR JAIL THEM !
What a great day... to vote Tommorow is perfect...FRIDAY THE 13TH...GREAT day to the stamp of IMPEACHMENT...One for the history books
NormEisen That was not debate. It was a 14 hour broken record.
POLL FIGHT! Cast your votes! Let's hear those voices!
I think I speak for many when I say we're all a little surprised that the Democrats worked longer than 8 hours. This must be a passion project for them.
It. Is. Not. Partisan. Feuding. It's Democrats exercising a Constitutional process with seriousness and deliberation, and Republicans flinging poo. If you don't have analysts bright enough to see that, for the love of god, get new analysts.
nancy should impeach, but not send the referral over until after the election, let the voters decide lol come on, do the merrick garland nancy

Brilliant move! Some quack is gonna have a sleepless drooling long night. WH staff, will you please order cheesyburger and green tea?
Republicans are pissed because they have to show up on the Hill tomorrow instead of going home. Ain't that something?
NormEisen BRAVO CHAIRMAN NADLER!!!!
This thing is such a bore.
Considering the jury is plotting with the man charged, it’s a good move.
they’ve seen McConnell on Fox and hopefully change their strategy.
Partisan feuding? No. Republican obstruction.
Please just let it happen, so the real trial can get underway. You know, the one with actual witnesses to real crimes that were committed by the enemies of Donald J Trump.
Please hurry up and get that monkey out of the jungle, and get some Lions in that office of the presidency😉
So glad Democrats finally have a spine and aren’t playing games with the GOP. Suck it Collin! God forbid you get some rest and have to work tomorrow.
It isn’t abrupt! They need to rest. Way to fuel flames 🔥
Why? Does the House pharmacy stop making deliveries past 10pm?
Good give them people a break
Weird. Seeing as how this is going to be a party line vote, not sure why the delay is necessary.
Want the news cycle
Nadler looked at the GOP efforts to delay the vote all day and said “mine’s bigger” and we simply must stan. Rep Foghorn Leghorn found dead.
How abruptly was it at 1130pm after 14 hours, Rep. Collins?
JerryNadler is giving the Republicans one last chance. He's sent them home to 'sleep on it', if they can. He is also giving realDonaldTrump some more rope (time) to hang himself. Trump's peculiar pathology will not allow him to stay silent. RageTweets should commence shortly.
What has happened to Our Democrat party, we're going downhill fast! Not the same party that used to be!
