The impeachment resolution from Texas Democrat Rep. Al Green is likely coming to the floor Wednesday evening, but is equally likely to be set aside.
Democratic members who spoke with Roll Call said that a final decision hadn't been made as to how to proceed on it, but that it would likely be blocked from a direct vote by a motion to refer it to the Judiciary Committee. Green filed his articles of impeachment as a privileged resolution, which basically forces consideration by the House. Leadership, and probably a number of Democratic members, are opposed. "I don’t think we're ready to debate that at this point," South Carolina Democrat and Majority Whip James Clyburn says.
He's right. They're definitely not ready, despite the fact that they should be by now. But they've been dragging their feet on doing the necessary groundwork for an impeachment resolution. The investigations and the hearings have to happen first, and the case has to be made to the American public.
It'd be better at this junction, as David Nir argues, to bring Rep. Rashida Tlaib's resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to open an impeachment investigation. That could probably get the votes, but that's not up to Green to bring.
