The boos speak for themselves:
This is not “caving” to the GOP. Nancy P. Has decided that she has the votes and it’s time.

Let 'er rip, Madame Speaker.
But don’t forget the sanctions on those a-holes that broke all the rules while you were on bereavement. They need to pay the price for their President-sanctioned antics. Enough is enough.

I guess she finally got the votes properly whipped. Good for her.

Right move.
Should have come earlier, but still the right move at this time.
Kudos.
Other than Amash (now an Independent), I don’t expect a lot of defections from the other side, which is just a shame.

Personally, I don’t think a vote is necessary for the same reason I didn’t think the grand jury in John Gotti’s cases needed one but …since this proceeding is directed more at the Senate than it is at The Whiner in the White House…ok
And I like the photo of Ali standing over Liston.

Just when Trump decides process doesn’t matter, Pelosi hits him with this.

Next GOP excuse:
We cannot cooperate with these partisan impeachment proceedings which barely passed along party lines.

Pelosi must have a pretty good idea on how many votes she’ll get or she probably wouldn’t be doing this. Will be most interested to see how many Rethugs have acquired spines.
Go get em Pelosi!

And, other than GOP enabling and sandbagging, Trump without an impeachment defense plan or strategy. Sad.

Throw that one out - the Clinton impeachment was also along party lines. So, no.
