The article states that they’d need 14* Democrats to vote for impeachment and that this is a nonstarter. What do you mean that they have the votes?
Edit: since this got a lot of traction, I’ll add my reply here. Impeaching a Democrat nominated judge or a non-partisan Republican judge who is acting well within the law AND trying to ensure that Separation of Powers still exists is entirely different than voting in nominees for cabinets, which happens within every administration.
And they got excoriated for it. This is a much different situation, and I doubt they’d get enough votes to reach the 2/3 required to convict in the Senate. If they did, every Democrat that voted for it would be voted out.
So they have Democrats scared enough to vote for RFK Jr, a previous “Democrat” that had brain worms, doesn’t believe in vaccines, and pushed Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID (AKA an actually fucking dangerous individual) for Director of HHS but somehow they’re not also going to vote to impeach judges?
Impeaching judges is a pretty personal decision. Not really something I would call partisan. But JFK, Jr being DoHHS is an entirely partisan vote and they were still able to get him confirmed. His stances on Vaccines are completely the opposite of the entire Democratic party and they still got the votes to confirm him. I think you’re being hopelessly naive.
They have the votes. There’s really no reason to suspect it won’t happen…
This is a very dangerous and scary time.

Really? The ten Democrats that voted to censure Al Green would like to have a word.
I sure as hell wouldn’t trust Democrats to do the right thing.

Didn’t they easily find 10 to continue funding this madness WHILE attaching even more destructive stuff to the bill?
The democrats will fall neatly inline

Democratic leadership is fully controlled opposition, they’ll find 14.
Downvoters, explain running to thiel and musk for money after the election then.
