Pelosi doesn't rule out using impeachment as option to stop Trump Supreme Court pick

[ziggy]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday would not rule out impeachment as an option to stop President Trump’s U.S. Supreme Court pick from being confirmed to the bench, saying Democrats will “use every arrow in our quiver” to block the eventual nominee.

Just hours after it was announced that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., vowed that a Trump nominee to the Supreme Court to fill her vacancy “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

During an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Pelosi, D-Calif., was asked whether she and House Democrats would move to impeach the president, or Attorney General Bill Barr in an effort to prevent the Senate from acting.

“We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now but the fact is we have a big challenge in our country,” Pelosi said. “This president has threatened to not even accept the results of the election.”

She added: “Our main goal would be to protect the integrity of the election as we protect the people from the coronavirus.”

Pelosi was pressed again on whether she would employ impeachment tactics, to which she said the Constitution requires that Congress “use every arrow in our quiver.”

“We have a responsibility,” Pelosi said. “We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We have a responsibility to meet the needs of the American people.”

She added: “When we weigh the equities of protecting our democracy, it requires us to use every arrow in our quiver.”

The Dems are just trying to save the republican party from having to face their hypocrisy and lies that would color it the rest of their political lives, Dems are trying to help them save face. Whar Repubs said in 2016 is on tape. It is being shown." I had my fingers crossed when I said it "does not work. Americans can see the lies so clearly. Lindsay can not look any worse in this fiasco.

Horrid move for Democrats, politically. Good bye, independents. I’m surprised she would even say that.

Let's give Donald Trump some credit by recognizing his cemented 46% approval rating!

I say congrats to Donald Trump! I'll give him that!

But, and this is a huge but- THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO WIN THIS ELECTION.

Women are now going to be the largest factor in this election- A MUCH LARGER FACTOR NOW THAT ROE VS. WADE IS ON THE REFERENDUM!

Women across America know now that this election is up to them to decide- AND THEY WILL NOT FAIL!

Because now- THIS ELECTION IS TOTALLY LEFT UP TO THEM TO DECIDE WHETHER ROE VS. WADE WILL STAND OR FALL.
