GOP Forces Vote Tonight - Dems on Record for Formal Impeachment - I need more Popcorn or Corn Pops? Basically a procedure move made by the GOP forced the Dems to condone Pelosi's inquiry, they did not and in doing so basically moved impeachment forward..  From Article In other words, in plain English, the Democrats, by shooting down McCarthy’s resolution, have now formally all gone on the record in support of Pelosi’s impeachment inquiry–and the Republicans have now all gone on the record against it. Even more plainly, this was the vote that formally opened impeachment proceedings. They are all on the record now. No Democrat in the House of Representatives now  claim it is not their intention to attempt to remove the duly elected president of the United States from office by force rather than by an election. They also cannot be ambivalent about it anymore. There is no more splitting hairs, no more supporting an “investigation” without backing impeachment, no more saying they need more facts to figure out what’s next. All the cards are on the table: Every Democrat in the House supports removing Trump from office and not waiting until November 2020 to have an election.
