      You’d need four twenty Republican senators to convict. I can’t imagine that happening.

        It’d still be something. Bemoaning “oh there’s no point because it’s hopeless” gives these fuckers more fuel because the opposition is just etting it happen without any complaints.

        It’d be like a cop kneeling on your neck and not bothering to scream “help I can’t breathe! they’re killing me!” because you’ve just accepted that they’re going to suffocate you to death.

          It would be something. Would it be the most effective use of their time? Unlikely.

          “Something must be done, this is something, therefore this must be done” is a joke, not something to take seriously.

        So were the 50+ votes to repeal the ACA when the Republicans had a minority control but they still did it to send a message.
