WASHINGTON - A Florida congresswoman who on Wednesday became an impeachment manager in President Donald Trump’s upcoming Senate trial wants to remove the lead juror: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Rep Val Demings’ position, shared publicly by a just a few other Democrats, could undercut House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s efforts to frame impeachment as an exercise of constitutional duty. Republicans have argued for months that Democrats are on a partisan mission to remove Trump from office. Yet in selecting Demings on Wednesday as one of the seven impeachment managers, Pelosi is giving a national spotlight to a Democrat who has

This impeachment drama is all political, so why should the top politician in the Senate recuse himself. That does not make sense. On political grounds it is clear that the Democrats would be pleased as punch if all Republican Senators recuse themselves and leave the President’s fate in the hands of partisan Democrats to undo the 2016 election.

A lot of precedents being established in this "impeachment" (non-bipartisan vote, one sided testimony, delaying sending the articles to the senate and now a demand for the lead republican to recuse himself in the senate ...). It's too bad republicans don't establish a few precedents of their own.

Call for, demand, cry and whine. Pelosi and Schumer are powerless in the Senate. They are trying to drum up some talking points. Why bother? The media will invent them for you.

The only thing that Pelosi or any other House member runs in the Senate is their mouths. This is all incredibly sickening to watch.

Ask for anything you can think of. The answer will always be no. This case needs to be killed otherwise the Constitution will be destroyed and any President can be impeached for anything and everything.

Pencil Neck and Jabba the Hut picked the black to give the message. If anyone complains, she can howl "racism" from the rafters.

By continuously reciting quotes from the great people in our past, Pelosi is demonstrating just how small and insignificant she is. The Senate should reject all of Nancy's actors and close the doors to anybody coming from the House. That's what I would call "fair."

Too funny. A quota calling someone else unfit because they are not 'impartial'. Calls of racism are not far behind.

SOP for the left. If you can’t win with the rules, change the rules.

I DEMAND that ALL DEMOCRATS RECUSE THEMSELVES!
They are OBVIOUSLY BIASED!
On another issue, it looks like the 'Rats selected this Val Deming broad to demand McConnell recuse himself, partly to open the door to crying "RRAAACCCCIIIISSSSTTTT!!!!" but also to raise her profile ahead of, as another L-Dotter suggested, of Biden possibly choosing her as his running mate, then Biden conveniently having 'health problems' and resigning right after he is inaugurated, so that a Leftist Black become President.
The 'Rats 'Behind the Green Curtain' are planning SOMETHING underhanded, we just don't yet know what it is.
