6 whole hours? Wow, if that doesn't show how serious this is, nothing will.
ZitatWASHINGTON — The House Rules Committee voted along party lines to approve six hours of debate on the House floor Wednesday as lawmakers vote on two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
Democrats and Republicans will have three hours apiece to make their case ahead of votes.
"Congress has no other choice but to act with urgency," Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said earlier. McGovern said it "shocks" him that Republicans have not condemned the president's behavior.
"I get it — it's hard to criticize a president who's a member of your own party," he said, but added, "Moments like this call for more than just reflexive partisanship."
McGovern summarized the case against the president and said, "If that is not impeachable conduct, I don't know what is."
"To not act would set a dangerous precedent," he said. "The evidence is clear as it is overwhelming."
