|
|
FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon
|
|
Last Wednesday, January 8, more than 100
FreedomWorks activists met on Capitol Hill to demand House Speaker Nancy Pelosi release the articles of impeachment and for the Senate to acquit President Trump as quickly as possible. FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon wrote this
article highlighting the gathering and
here is a video of the press conference.
In case you missed it, The White House issued a
short video on the Democrats' claim of urgency to impeach President Trump.
After weeks of stalemate between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
the House will transmit the impeachment articles today. Next Tuesday, January 21, the Senate will begin its trial. McConnell says he would like Donald Trump’s impeachment trial to look a lot like the one that led to the acquittal of Bill Clinton in 1999.

Still Fighting to Stop the Ratification of
the Equal Rights Amendment
|
|
Last week the Department of Justice
announced that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has failed to reach the necessary number of states to support ratification by its deadline and is no longer pending in the states for action. As the opinion states, "Congress may not revive a proposed amendment after a deadline for its ratification has expired. Should Congress wish to propose the amendment anew, it may do so through the same procedures required to propose an amendment in the first instance, consistent with Article V of the Constitution."
|
|
|
Take note that the House could see a vote on the ERA deadline removal (
H.J. Res 79) the last week of January.
Proponents believe there is a legal path to enact the ERA into the U.S. Constitution. If this were to happen, there would be harmful consequences.
Here is an article outlining four of the many potential outcomes.
