Nancy Pelosi is being forced to actually DO Her job; and turn over the articles of Impeachment to the US Senate!
While Pelosi plays the quid pro quo game, to try to force the US Senate to toe her line, and do as she says in the Senate trial! This is a massive overstep for the Speaker of the House; and an unconstitutional attempt to take over the Senate Trial, that must not be ignored.

Congressman Byrne is taking legal steps to force Pelosi to just DO HER JOB, or face Censure in the House!
Congressman Bradley Byrne (R-AL) on Thursday introduced a resolution to censure House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for holding on to the two articles of impeachment.
Power-hungry Pelosi is still refusing to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate unless they bow to her demands.
“Speaker Pelosi’s decision to hold the articles of impeachment against President Trump in a pathetic and unconstitutional attempt to extract concessions from the Senate is an unprecedented abuse of power,” Byrne said in a statement, according to The Hill.
“The Constitution grants the House the power to censure its members, the most serious rebuke the House can give a member short of expulsion,” he said. “An adopted censure resolution would require the offending member to stand in the well of the House and have the resolution read aloud. The last censure resolution adopted by the House occurred in 2010.”
The Senate responded by telling Pelosi this:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) laid down the law on Wednesday and told off House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure. We will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. The House Democrats’ turn is over. The Senate has made its decision. This is for the Senate, and the Senate only, to decide,” McConnell said in a tweet.

The US Senate is not receptive to coercion from Pelosi. They are beginning to pressure her too.
Pressure on Pelosi to transmit the articles to the Senate has increased since Democratic senators have started echoing Republicans’ calls to move the process forward. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said on Wednesday that Pelosi "should send them over." Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has also sided against Pelosi.
On Thursday, CNN host Alisyn Camerota said that McConnell had outmaneuvered Pelosi and "sort of won this one."
Pelosi spoke to reporters on Thursday and said that she would send the articles to the Senate "soon." She did not commit to a date that she would send them over.
"I'm not holding them indefinitely. I will send them over when I'm ready, and that will probably be soon," she said
The Senate has given Pelosi a hard deadline to do her job, or they will dismiss it as baseless:

The Senate has given Pelosi until the 12th to turn over the articles of impeachment, or they will dismiss them entirely!
As we are well aware, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been holding on to the articles of impeachment and refusing to hand them over to the Senate so that they can begin the impeachment trial and put an end to this mess.
Some senators are getting impatient with Pelosi and have threatened to introduce a measure to dismiss the articles of impeachment if she doesn’t turn them over. In fact, he’s given Pelosi a deadline…January 12th to turn over the articles or
Senator Josh Hawley said via Twitter, “Dems said impeachment was URGENT. Now they don’t want to have a trial, because they have no evidence. In real world, if prosecution doesn’t proceed with case, it gets dismissed. So on Monday, I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution.”
“This will expose Dems’ circus for what it is: a fake impeachment, abuse of the Constitution, based on no evidence. If Dems won’t proceed with trial, bogus articles should be dismissed and @realDonaldTrump fully cleared.”
As if we haven't already had enough evidence that this whole thing is partisan scam, Nancy is confirming it. Jan 12 will come very quickly. "When I'm ready" really? She thinks it's about her? C'mon. Where's your urgency now?

Her only urgency now is to avoid censure. I think she will wait for the Senate to dismiss, so she can scream partisanship. It us all she has left, since the articles are just an obvious hack job!
Then they will move into another inpeachment, based on the drone strike....
They are evil scum vermin!
>:(well it is now the 13th. Have they been handed over? I suppose I could google that :P
Should be any second, they really messed her speeches; up when they attacked her with legal actions, against her illegal ones.
I think the made it a Sunday deadline just to add pressure. She will likely go today, but will try to wait until Tuesday just to be perverse.
>:(Imagine that. A politician actually having to do a laborious thing.
This woman is frightening. So incompetent and yet so much influence.
She is a big part of the liberal cancer from California! One of the most incompetent, and crimianal politicians in the swamp, SMH.
If there is any justice left, shr must go to prison. Unlike President Trump, there will be plenty of evidence to convict her!
>:(Very interesting sir smithlabs..I haven't been following any news, did she turn them over yet?
I doubt it, she will hold it until the get really mad in the Senate. She may be wanting them to dismiss so she can cry foul....
:)>Oh that may be it since it is dead on arrival anyway.
They KNOW there is no crime, this is All political posturing! It will really Hurt them this election....
