..... taken away the Congressional Republicans' opportunity to moan and groan that the Congressional Democrats rammed an impeachment vote down their throats in the eleventh hour.
But I am wondering if there would have been some benefit in Nadler asking Collins how he feels about postponing the vote for today rather than having it last night. That could have placed the ball in Collins' court and taken away any opportunity for him to moan and groan about an eleventh hour impeachment vote. Seems like Collins was disappointed that his scheme was thwarted. Maybe Nadler was afraid that seeking consent from Collins would have opened the door to more time having to be dedicated to discussing that sought consent or maybe it was pure ego on Nadler's part. After all, like sports players, politicians also have huge egos.
That said, that vote to impeach Trump is coming early today and will be ratified by the full house next Wednesday. Long live law and order.
