Thursday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin talked about how the Republican-controlled Senate should respond if the Democrat-controlled House votes to impeach President Donald Trump.
While the Constitution itself doesn’t require the Senate to take up an impeachment case, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that the Senate would have to take up an impeachment case sent over from the House due to one of the upper chamber’s rules:
It’s a Senate rule related to impeachment, which would take 67 votes to change. So I would have no choice but to take it up. How long you are on it is a whole different matter, but I would have no choice but to take it up based on a Senate rule on impeachment.Levin responded that the Senate should respond to this rule as it has to others in the past: Go nuclear.
The “nuclear option,” as it has become known, is when the Senate votes on a precedent to get around its own rules.
It has been used in the past to lower the thresholds for the confirmation of federal and Supreme Court judges and merely requires that that a majority of senators overrule the parliamentarian’s interpretation of a Senate rule.
And that, the host argued, is what the chamber should do to decline to take up an impeachment case if Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Democrats are successful in impeaching the president over the whistleblower controversy.
“The Senate must not allow itself to be the plaything of Pelosi and the House Democrats, who are violating every rule” of the impeachment process, Levin said.
“And only the Senate has the power to police what House Democrats are doing. No other body. No court, not the executive branch, only the Senate,” the host continued. “That’s why the Senate has such a prominent role in this process.”
But under these circumstances, Levin explained, the Senate must defend the Constitution, the office of the presidency, and itself from the Democrats’ partisan impeachment effort, “or it will destroy its own reputation as an institution.”
Editor Note
Mitt Romney could be an "ace in the hole" for the democratic subversion of the Constitution by seditionists. So could loopholes in US law that many members of Congress have taken advantage of.
Sedition:

China has made McConnell and others in washington very rich.
McConnell – as well as former Vice President Joe Biden – have taken advantage of their positions in Washington to strike business deals yielding hundreds and millions of dollars in profits for their families and Chinese political and business leaders … some at the expense of U.S. security.
Undetected loopholes have apparently made it possible for such covert operations to frequently take place in the nation’s capital for decades, according to Schweizer,“Lawmakers and government officials are required to disclose information about their financial dealings but not those of their extended families, and Schweizer argues China has tried to exploit that provision.”
Using political positioning to line their pockets has apparently become an art in the nation’s capital for decades. Current ethics laws create a zero-accountability zone for the Washington, D.C., political class.
They go about their deceptive business operations in a round-about kind of way as a safeguard to job security – in order to ensure scandal-free transactions.
“Rather than risk their careers taking bribes for potentially minuscule rewards, Schweizer points out how today’s politicians are savvier, engaging in what he calls ‘corruption by proxy,’” the New York Post noted.
“While politicians and their spouses are often subject to rigid regulations on what gifts they can accept and what sort of business they can conduct, others around them – like their friends or children have no such obstacles.
So, while a politician could theoretically wind up in prison for accepting $10,000 for doling out favors, establishing overseas connections that could land your children multi-million-dollar deals is harder to detect, and often legal.”
Personal gain has evidently been the name of the game when it comes to foreign affairs on Capitol Hill for some time.

The bottom line is this:
Its all about money with many of the corrupt members of Congress.
The corrupt democrats and republicans who vote to remove President Trump from office will be protecting themselves, family members, friends etc.
How many will join Pelosi? Who knows.
Will McConnell protect himself and his wife?
Will Romney vote with the democrats if the nuclear option is activated in the Semate?
My best guess is Yes they will.
Pray for America and President Trump.
Their are demon politicians and others working to destroy America and remove President Trump from office when President Trump has not committed a crime or done anything wrong when he made a phone call to speak to a head of state about corruption of Joe Biden and democrats efforts to investigate him on totally FAKE information.
