The senate doesn’t have anything to do with the impeachment.  That is the responsibility of the house alone.  Trump is going to be impeached, that much is abundantly clear at this point.  The senate are the ones that hold the trial on removal from office when a president is impeached.  Obviously the senate won’t do that, so the impeachment will be mostly symbolic.  Trump will become the third president to be impeached, and none of them will have been removed from office

Sorry, when I used the word impeached I meant being removed from office like how most people refer to it as, but even I'm not sure if there will be a hearing. If so, it will only help Trump win. He can defend himself and prove once again the Democrats are just desperate liars and give more publicity to Trump. Any publicity is good publicity for the most part.

Lowering taxes, record unemployment rate, started cracking down on illegal immigration and boosting our military capabilities. He seems like a great president to me. Probably the best we had since Regan.

What's so great about lowering taxes for the 1%? 

The unemployment rates had been falling long before Trump was president. Trump's base likes to give him credit for the economy and unemployment rates but never source how he allegedly did it. 

Cracking down on immigration by separating children from their families and wasting billions of tax payer money to fund his nonsensical, asinine 'wall'. Lets not forget the LIE about Mexico paying for the 'wall'

Greatest president ever...sure... 

Damn if it is only for them it would be insane to see that as a positive when you are not part of that 1%,it is the other 99% that will need to make up for them having less taxes.

I got a pretty sizable tax cut (around 2k) and I'm not in the top 1% Not to mention I got a pay raise because I have a marketable skill in the tech industry and H1B1 visas abusers are being rejected so employers have to do whatever it takes to retain me.

We spend a lot more money on illegal immigration than we are on the wall. The wall will help prevent illegal immigrants in the long run. If families don't want to be separated, don't come here illegally. Should we not put a criminal in jail just because they have a kid?

It's the Will of D!

Too bad both are more like followers of Blackbeard than Straw hat...

Are there any actual consequences for those refusing to comply with a subpoena?  

Every so often someone tries telling me that West Korea "is a nation of laws", but it's reallllly difficult to make that case if senior government officials can refuse to comply with lawful orders to appear in court.  The self-proclaimed Tough-on-Crime Party of Law and Order/Personal Responsibility must be outraged by such despotic shenanigans.  Truly, anyone with patriotic devotion to freedom would stand against such godless corruption (not that any of Beloved Leader's collaborators have any patriotic devotion to anything).

You are probably right, but the House should do both. 

If no one is above the law, no one should be permitted to defy their legal obligations without legal consequences.  Further, it may be a calculated decision if their testimony will be more damaging to their case than their own lawlessness.  The House should refer them to the WK Attorney's office as it pressures them to comply with the next subpoena, it is necessary in ensuring that no one is above the law, and it allows the House to pursue testimony that will either add to their case or support existing facts. 

The House should also use it in the Articles of Impeachment, as refusing to comply with subpoenas are already a matter of record and fits an enduring pattern of obstruction and lawlessness.  

I don't know why the House is acting like this is some kind of higher standard.  Refuse to comply with a subpoena?  Charged with Contempt of Congress.  Refuse to comply with a subpoena during an Impeachment process?  Document that refusal in the Articles of Impeachment.  This should just be the baseline.

Just wanted to leave this video here, it's the impeachment from the view of a lawyer, so someone who can actually tell you what's a crime and what's not, and what is an impeachable offense:

Pretty damning if you ask me.
