    HOT TAKE: A senior House #Democrat should bring to the floor a resolution of #impeachment against Rod Rosenstein – as a question of privilege so it gets an ~immediate vote of the full House. #GetEveryoneOnTheRecord 1/ pic.twitter.com/O2rNtlQyoJ

        There's no possible way this could backfire.

        Mathematically, there's a chance. Practically, there is no chance. And, even if the resolution did pass the House, that would simply send it to the Senate where it would presently need 66 votes for conviction (ie, removal from office).

        I don't understand why you like this. For one thing, Democrats bringing it to the floor would be tacit approval of it. Also Ryan would never let it go the the floor if he thought there was a chance it would lose. So the point seems moot.

        One, while it's unusual in the House, bringing up something to have it defeated is not unprecedented. Two, the sponsor can have it brought to the House floor as a matter of privilege, ie the rules would then require it be made the question before the House.

        I agree Dems need to be more aggressive in the 6 mos before election, forcing @GOP to take unpopular positions Schumer & @POTUS44 were WAY TOO PASSIVE over the Merrick Garland nom - they handed @GOP a big GOTV issue (steal a seat) when the issue should have been a 2016 Dem plus

        I think it's a terrible idea. Thousands of people lining the streets yelling "You're Fired!" at Donald Trump is a much better one.

        Way too optimistic to assume any House Republicans will vote "no." Conservative media will pounce, "DEMS AGREE ROSENSTEIN SHOULD BE IMPEACHED." House GOPers will get inundated with calls from their base to vote "yes" and will cravenly do it. Better to just let Meadows squawk.

        Maybe it is time for Dems to use house and senate rules to their advantage like the GOP has. Become a little more, I don’t know, progressive?
