I assume this is because GOP Senators grasp that fucking up the Dem primaries is a higher priority
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), an adviser to the Senate Republican leadership, says there are not enough votes in the Senate to immediately dismiss any articles of impeachment passed by the House against President Trump.
Republicans have discussed the possibility of quickly dismissing charges against Trump, which would just require 51 votes. But Cornyn said that would be a difficult hurdle for the GOP, which holds 53 seats in the Senate.
“There’s some people talking about trying to stop the bill, dismiss charges basically as soon as they get over here. I think that’s not going to happen. That would require 51 votes,” Cornyn told reporters Wednesday.
“I think it would be hard to find 51 votes to cut the case off before the evidence is presented,” he added.
Cornyn also said it would be better to have a trial in the Senate if the House impeaches Trump.
The veteran GOP senator said it would be “the better course would be to let each side have their say and then have the Senate vote and see if they can meet the two-thirds threshold” to convict the president on impeachment articles.

would love it one of these guys actually had the Republicans define their Fox-News-pudding-brained conspiracy jargon whenever they spout it. you could probably spin out the entire 45 minutes just on getting the term nailed down, especially if the GOP rep makes an appeal to the President's authority. "President Trump has said that I'm a... I'm sorry, could I hear the phrase in context?" 28 minutes of the rep trying to read a transcript of alzheimerian word salad while applying gravitas ensue, break for lunch.

pluralities aren't good enough, tbh
A plurality of voters in key battleground states support impeaching and removing President Trump from office, according to new data from Priorities USA, a Democratic super PAC.
Priorities USA surveyed 2,500 voters in Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — four states that went for Trump in 2016 — and found that 49 percent support impeachment and removal, compared to 45 percent who oppose it.
The worst margins for Trump are in Florida, where 51 percent of respondents support impeachment and 45 oppose it. In Michigan, 50 percent support impeachment and removal compared to 45 percent who are opposed.
The margins are closer in Wisconsin, at 48 percent-45 percent in support of impeachment and removal, and in Pennsylvania, where voters are split 47 percent-47 percent.
The data finds that voters increasingly view “corruption” as a reason to replace Trump: fifty-three percent of respondents cited “corruption” as a reason Trump should not get a second term, matching health care as the top problem spot for the president.

how many of these stupid tax returns related appeals are on the SC's docket? three? four?
Congress can seek eight years of President Trump’s tax records, according to a federal appeals court order Wednesday that moves the separation-of-powers conflict one step closer to the Supreme Court.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit let stand an earlier ruling against the president that affirmed Congress’s investigative authority on a day when the House was holding its first public impeachment inquiry hearing.
Trump’s lawyers have said they are prepared to ask the Supreme Court to intervene in this case and in several other legal battles between the president and Congress.
The D.C. Circuit was responding Wednesday to Trump’s request to have a full panel of judges rehear a three-judge decision from October that rejected the president’s request to block lawmakers from subpoenaing his longtime accounting firm.

The irony will be that when we see his tax returns, years after his reelection and after dozens and dozens of lawsuits, there's going to be something in them so damning they would have prevented him from ever getting elected in the first place and therefore would have saved us all years of pain and suffering and irritation and waste. And then it will be proposed to make public tax returns a presidential requisite, and the GOP will block the legislation
