What is appears many Democrats do not comprehend is that when President Donald Trump is impeached on Wednesday, he is still the president.
And with the power of being president comes the power to remake the courts by placing qualified Constitutionalists on the bench.
Even if President Trump was impeached and removed, which will not happen, and even if he does not win in 2020, which we think he will, it would not matter.

What he has done by fixing the courts and taking them from judicial activists and getting them back into the hands of those who follow the Constitution will last for generations.
It is bringing America back to the rule of law and getting us out of the era of judges making the laws instead of enforcing them.

That is the stark reminder that Senate Majority Leader and Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell sent on Wednesday when he is set to start the process of confirming 13 judges to lifetime appointments.
“Under the regular order, at 10:30 am, on Wednesday, December 18th, the Senate will proceed to a roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture on Executive Calendar #382, Matthew Walden McFarland, of Ohio, to be United States District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio,” The Senate Cloakroom said.

“Absent a unanimous consent agreement, two roll call votes (cloture/confirmation) will occur every two hours during tomorrow’s session of the Senate on the District Judge nominations (13 District Judges) that Leader McConnell filed cloture on during Monday’s session of the Senate,” it said.

McConnell’s schedule to confirm are Matthew McFarland for the Southern District of Ohio; Anuraag Singhal for the Southern District of Florida; Karen Marston for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; Daniel Traynor for the District of North Dakota; John M. Gallagher for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; Bernard Maurice Jones II for the Western District of Oklahoma; Mary Kay Vyskocil for the Southern District of New York; Kea Whetzal Riggs for the District of New Mexico;
Lewis J. Liman for the Southern District of New York; Gary Richard Brown for the Eastern District of New York; Robert J. Colville for the Western District of Pennsylvania; Jodi Dishman for the Western District of Oklahoma; Stephanie Dawkins Davis for the Eastern District of Michigan, Bloomberg reported.
That he has begun the process of confirming these judges on the day the Democrats plan to impeach the president is not by accident.
He is sending a message that the business of the American citizens continues in spite of the partisan, sham impeachment.
An impeachment he has vowed to not be an “impartial juror” in, the same way the Democrats in the House were not impartial.

“I’m not an impartial juror. This is a political process. There’s not anything judicial about it,” he said on Tuesday.
“The House made a partisan political decision to impeach. I would anticipate we will have a largely partisan outcome in the Senate. I’m not impartial about this at all,” he said.
He has no reason to work with Democrats as Democrats have used their power to block Republicans from having any say in the House impeachment inquiries.
The Democrats should learn that elections have consequences, no matter how many tantrums they have.
