I know it’s frustrating to “wait” days for #Impeachment when Trump is so unhinged. FAR faster to arrest him for felony murder - but the US House is not the US Attorney and House Rules say “fast track” a bill to Floor vote in 2 legislative days. Til then, #25thAmendment!
5 days feel like an eternity especially while traumatized by the deadly #CapitolRiots Trump incited. After he’s shredded our Constitution, it’s excruciating to wait while he hurts more people. But #impeachment is worth it - we can MOVE ON by making sure he can’t run again.
I remember being a prosecutor and people would “pull time” per CA’s Speedy Trial Law - demand a jury trial in 10 days. It felt achingly slow; when you charge a case you want to try it day one at arraignment. But due process for ALL is our system. Hang tight. 5 days. #impeachment
And really everyone who knows a republican or Trump supporter or media figure can help by pushing them to let Trump know he’s got to pay the price for deadly incitement. Those #CapitolRiots are high crimes. No excuses. We will heal when we have justice. //
