Representative Elise Stefanik, the No. 4 House of Representatives Republican, and hardline Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a pair of resolutions that if enacted would aim to change the record "as if such articles had never been passed."

There is, of course, no Constitutional provision to expunge an impeachment.

I guess since they’ve solved all of our present problems there’s nothing left to do except tidy up the past.

I think it's simple Justice.

The first was based on a hoax. A known hoax.

The second was political horseshit and everybody knew it.

And the trial was that of a person who was not president.

You need to diversify your news sources so you don’t fall for this kind of disinformation.

Re the first impeachment, the predicate charge was true and not disputed in either the house or Senate. People differed on whether it was an impeachable abuse of power.

Re the second, say what you will about Trump’s refusal to accept the results and the incitement of the credulous imbeciles but it was completely unprecedented and certainly rises above the level of ‘political horseshit’.

Damn, but you're a homer...
