Republicans discuss whether to censure Trump for his actions

From CNN's Manu Raju and Ariane de Vogue

Some House Republicans are privately discussing whether to censure President Trump as a way to express their disapproval about the President's actions without going along with the Democratic effort to impeach him, according to several GOP sources.

It's unclear, though, whether they will ever get a chance to vote on such a plan. Democratic leaders have shown no willingness so far to schedule a vote on anything short of impeachment.

It's likely to be a topic on the House GOP's 4:30 p.m. ET conference call today.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Monday refused requests from the Trump campaign and other Republicans to put several election-related cases on a fast track for consideration, in the latest sign that the justices have no interest in getting involved with the 2020 election results.
