Hey folks… Longtime member, long time no post. I have an idea that I wanna put out there for proper consideration. I actually can not believe I’m about to type this, but I nominate LIZ CHENEY for a prominent role as manager in the coming Senate trial of President *****s record 2nd impeachment.
If we are serious about the necessity of winning a conviction we need to win several (17ish*) Republican votes. If the Senate vote were private there is no doubt the outcome would be near unanimous to convict, no matter who would make the case.
Having 9 managers who are unquestionably well spoken, with all the evidence in the world, freaking God on our side, and all Democrats may be enough to carry the vote. BUT how effective would it be to have the Sith Lords daughter make the case on the Senate floor that the Child Emperor is no longer legitimate, and had transgressed the Empire... (which insurrection has resulted in multiple deaths, and the armed occupation of the selfsame Capitol that was sacked on the 7th. Were I an author the obvious plot line goes thus: The overall commander of said force would be a *****ist, naturally, leading to an order to arrest the “ringleaders of the steal”.) But I digress.
This is absolutely a 1st for me. Frankly I expect it to be the last time I will support the elevation of a Cheney on the national level as issues stand currently.
* refers to the possibility that 2/3rds of those voting are needed for conviction.
