House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
announced today
that the House would be voting tomorrow
on a resolution
to name the impeachment managers
for the President's Senate trial
and transmit the articles
to the chamber.
Said Mitch McConnell
"It will fall to us
to do what the founders intended--
to take the long view
move beyond partisan passions
and do what the long-term good
of our institutions and our nation demands."
Since
despite any illusions to the contrary
he is actually speaking Trump-loyalist-ese
this most likely means
Trump will remain in office
but as Pelosi reminded us
Trump is still
"impeached for life."
And as Prince told us
"That's a mighty long time."
