Now She Knows What Happened And Why -- Adam Schiff's Summary Remarks To Marie Yovanovitch
Media keep saying she's muddled. No. Schiff cleanly summed it up to everyone.
During what is a House grand jury hearing, it is ILLEGAL to tamper with the grand jury's process!
MF45 just committed two crimes at once.
The count: TWO new Articles of Impeachment in real time.
Keep it up, lil Donnie!
EDIT: Clarifying my post below:
Republican lawyers right there cannot lie about what they and Schiff saw in real time.
Schiff either already has, or will enter the attempted intimidation tweet into the Congressional Record.
These two real time crimes -- intimidation of a witness, and obstructing a grand jury process ( to do the first is to do the second) -- cannot be denied, defended or exonerated by anyone IN that chamber, or by any Senator watching that process and the evidence of the @realDonaldTrump tweet that Schiff has presented.
If Senate Republicans are watching this "process," and still exonerate MF45 on these articles in their trial, they will have committed the crime of perjury and obstruction of justice themselves.
MF 45 Has Visited NO Country Yovanovitch Has Served In -- His Tweet Is WITNESS INTIMIDATION.
The map below proves he knows NOTHING about the countries Yovanovitch has represented him in.
AND YET in real time, DURING the House Impeachment Hearing #2, MF45 smears the highest rated ambassador in the US State Department. MF45's crime, Per Chuck Rosenberg, 18 U.S.C. § 1512

"One morning I woke up and I knew
You were really gone
A new day, a new way, I knew
I should see it along
Go your way, I'll go mine
And carry on
The sky is clearing and the night
Has gone out
The sun, he come, the world
Is all full of love
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice
But to carry on
The fortunes of fables are able
To sing the song
Now witness the quickness with which
We get along
To sing the blues you've got to live the dues
And carry on
Carry on
Love is coming
Love is coming to us all..."
The ERA is BACK! Woohoo! Thank you, Virginia!

The Equal Rights Amendment May Pass Now. It's Only Been 96 Years.
Source: New York Times
First proposed almost a century ago and passed by Congress in 1972, the constitutional amendment — whose main clause reads, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex” ... In 2018, Illinois was the 37th. Now, Virginia’s incoming Democratic leaders have promised to take up the amendment immediately when the legislature convenes in January — and given that it failed in the Virginia Senate by only one vote when the body was under Republican control, passage is almost assured.
... nothing in Article V of the Constitution, which lays out the process for amendments, says ratification must happen within a certain period of time: After all, Congress approved the 27th Amendment in 1789, and the final state did not ratify it until 1992.
“We fully anticipate that there will be a Supreme Court decision involved in this,” said Krista Niles, outreach and civic engagement director at the Alice Paul Institute, one of the main organizations promoting the Equal Rights Amendment. “Both sides of the argument have lawyers waiting to file their amicus briefs at any moment that the 38th state does ratify.”

A lot of feedback's been lost, but I hope people will keep commenting on the ramifications of this latest news out of Virginia. For example, customerserviceguy posted:
"Under the Constitution both the President and the SCOTUS have no official role when it comes to amending the Constitution. That power is solely within the hands of the Congress and the state legislators."
Also, "... Mitch McConnell has to do with the ERA at this point. It passed the Senate nearly fifty years ago, so it's a done deal there."
Also, from discntnt_irny_srcsm :
" For anyone interested the Alice Paul Institute is near Philly in South Jersey.

This amendment's passage could quash all current cases from states fighting against Roe v Wade.
Roe v Wade probably won't even have to exist anymore if this amendment is passed.
Finally, women will have fundamental constitutional rights that men have about their bodily autonomy.
VA as the 38th state to ratify the ERA is a Big F'n Deal!

Of all the things that Virginia may pass now that Democrats have won control of the state legislature, none have been so long in the making as the Equal Rights Amendment.
First proposed almost a century ago and passed by Congress in 1972, the constitutional amendment -- whose main clause reads, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex" ...

NOTE: I've moved this OP over to General Discussion. Since it appeared from NYT online today, with a time stamp and byline, I took it to be news, though hosts might decide otherwise.
Please follow comments in GD if you see this get "locked." Thanks, all.
