Breaking: Senator Feinstein tells me this morning that she will back Senator Manchin’s censure proposal, adding a second name to the list. Says she’s in touch with Manchin. No word on her final vote on both impeachment articles.

“Yes,” she said when asked if she backs censure and Manchin’s proposal.

Said she was going to write her own resolution “but he beat me to it.”

Does not think it will be privileged/ able to force a vote on the measure.

“That’s sort of the downside at this point,” she said.

1. In addition to a vote for removal is acceptable.

Instead of a vote for removal is not.

Big difference.

If we lose real Democratic Senators to this kind of half measure, it will be bad

5. +1

2. surely the repuke Concern Caucus can get behind this?

3. Not a chance in hell.

If McConnell can block it, he will. He's very good at obstruction.

4. My reaction too

Moscow Mitch will block it just because he can!

6. The Authortarian Party formerly know as the Republican Party

will not back this either but go for it anyway.

7. Doing so little as a consequence like censure

Will only cause him to fix this upcoming election, because the Mueller investigation didn't stop him, did it. By using only censure you're asking for this to happen from him in the 2020 election. What do these people see in him that makes them think it'll now be different from him. He's corrupt , and never to be trusted.
