are made.

It has been demonstrated that the republicans in Congress are going to do whatever they need to do to pass the trump/republican agenda, and because the Democrats are the minority party, there is very little that can be done.

When Nixon was going to be impeached the Democrats controlled BOTH Houses. That is no longer the case

The best we can hope for is that the Democrats win BOTH Houses in November, not a likely scenario in the Senate, and without Senate control where we might be able to delay judicial appointments, the odds are going that trump will make recess judicial appointments if the republicans do not have the Senate majority. It is unlikely before the midterms that the Democrats will be able to stop the SC appointment.

It's more apparent every day this is an illegitimate presidency and everything he's done should be nullified.
