On the impeachment bill in the Penna. House, Daily Kos notes that due to the existing gerrymandered nature of the Penna. statehouse, the GOP can obtain impeachments without a single Democratic vote.

In the House, the GOP is in the majority. (Three seats are vacant.)

In the Senate, the divide is 34-16. That’s enough to convict.

The GOP rep in question is using the same argument the GOP used in the case: The Supreme Court of Penna. overstepped its constitutional bounds to infringe on the prerogatives of the state legislature.

Several Democrats in the House are on record saying this is an outrageous abuse of power by the House if they go through with this, but the state constitution says that the House determines whether someone should be removed (and it doesn’t have to be for a crime).
