Why is the House passing Bills then?

[SHRED]

If the logic is that impeachment will never get past the Senate that is.

[trev]

1. We need to keep passing bills to demonstrate the Senate's recalcitrance.

It's just another piece of the case being built.

[SHRED]

2. Why doesn't this hold true for impeachment?

[TreasonousBastard]

4. Legislation can be opened again, and it is on the record, but...

impeachment is done and gone.

Especially since the object of desire may be gone when a new Senate is amenable to conviction.

5. I think it does.

Impeachment opens more doors to investigation, will be more highly publicized, and will put the Republicans on notice that we are serious. I've been pushing for impeachment right from the beginning. I wrote to my Republican congresswoman asking her to change her stance.

I try to be consistent.

8. Powder

Must. Keep. Dry.

Passing bills knowing that they will never see the light of day keeps it dry.

Trying to rein in the toddler in the white house, apparently gets it wet in some way.

3. This is what I have been asking for a week now.

Why do anything if the Senate and McConnell won't approve of it?

[shanny]

6. very VERY good point

[TwilightZone]

7. To show voters what to expect should we win the Senate.

And why they should vote for us in general.

It's really not that complicated. There's more to governing than considering/pursuing impeachment.

[SHRED]

9. I'm in favor of passing legislation

What I'm saying is our Leadership claims impeachment will get stopped at the Senate.
Well, legislation is getting stopped at the Senate also.
