What is the deadline? I think you're just afraid ordinary Americans will go home for the holidays, talk about what a failure Trump is and let their senators know in January.The "deadline" was pretty much imposed by the Democrats on themselves, Konradv! They claimed the reason that they needed to impeach Trump now instead of waiting for an election to remove him was that he was a danger to national security! So they vote for impeachment and then go on recess? Really? What happened to the dire need to impeach to "save" the nation?Where are the deadlines in the Constitution: article, clause? Pelosi doesn't have to jump through arbitrary hoops for anyone.
