over another historic day in the debate on whether or not to impeach president donald trump. the house judiciary committee debated late last night and is set to take a vote by the end of the day and cbs news reporter catherine johnson is joining us live from capitol hill i what to expect today.>> reporter: good morning, this hearing picks up in about an hour and we are expecting to see some fireworks is this is democrats and republicans final chance to make their arguments for and against impeachment. now, the president is accused of two high crimes and misdemeanors. article one is abuse of power, article 2 is obstruction of congress for democrats a president donald trump abused the power of his office by pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rivals. the bidens then obstructed congress by stonewalling the impeachment inquiry.>> president president donald trump will that the enormous powers of the

presidency to cheat in 2020 election. >> this is the quickest, thinnest, most partisan impeachment in all of american presidential history.>> reporter: today the committee will pass both articles on partyline votes. that's as of the final impeachment votes before the full house come into happen at some point next week. today the judiciary committee will be voting on each of the articles of impeachment, separately but again, we will see the votes land across partyline but republicans are not going without a fight. they know this is the final chance to make their case and they are getting some amendments added to these articles of impeachment but the house judiciary committee is led by democrats and they have the majority. it is unlikely any of those amendments will make all the way through.>> there's a lot of democrats that think those articles up for the vote don't go far enough. why is the house focusing specifically on those two? >> reporter: right, the house originally went, they were

thinking broader and maybe bribery or thinking about possibly a charge of obstruction of justice and bringing in robert mueller report and russia investigation but they landed on these articles of impeachment because they know the republicans will continue to hammer home where is the evidence? where is the evidence? that's what everyone needs to see. in addition to the general public so democrats think they have the best chance at these two articles of impeachment including instruction of congress because they have the proof that the white house refused to participate in impeachment inquiry. they will be leaning on that as the evidence when the things come down. in the east bay, angry parents used to holiday classic to shutdowns the oakland school meeting . >> the kids deserve the very best on this is not okay, hey. >> they ready dr. seuss like
