Graham tells Durbin to pound sand, wont allow Garland a hearing on Feb 8, citing need for a two day hearing. Impeachment trial starts on the 9th

Sure seemed to work for Fucker Trump.
They will eventually get around to it even with the dumbass republicans dragging their feet.

The Democrats do not officially take control until this is passed.
This may happen tomorrow.
