House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., speaks during his opening statement during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on the constitutional grounds for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Democratic lawmakers, attorneys and aides from the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees spent much of the weekend writing drafts of the articles of impeachment against President Trump.
According to the New York Times, the Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on them by Friday, with a final vote on the floor of the House expected shortly before Christmas.
One Democratic lawmaker described the rehearsals to the Times as "a great deal of tedium punctuated by five minutes of fire" and said that "Another planned to bring a seat cushion and blanket."
Pelosi herself said she is acting "With love in her heart." In her televised address last Thursday, she said "I commend our committee chairs and our members for their somber approach to actions, which I wish the president had not made necessary."
Separately, the Times reports, "Laurence H. Tribe, the constitutional law professor at Harvard, planned to travel to Washington on Saturday to discuss impeachment with Democratic members, kept in town over the weekend for two lengthy prep sessions." Great to know that Tribe is on the scene.
Poor President Eric Swalwell is tired and says he's "Just looking for a breakfrom pizza." Awe.
