We'll see what is presented to the Senators and if they don't have any additional questions they can vote to dismiss. But the House Republicans had plenty of questions. I imagine the Senators will as well.
Don't know, they have all seen this dog and pony show once. There are no eyewitnesses, no one who heard the President demand anything.

As much as is necessary to carry out impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.

If they have have questions, concerns, etc. They should do what they can to get those answered or resolved before voting to convict or acquit.
That would mean throwing it out the minute the Senate gets this roll of toilet paper.

Eh. Being that according to the Constitution a crime doesn't even have to be committed for someone to be impeached, I wouldn't hold the Senate trial to those standards.

 In a nutshell, it pissed of Chucky. :lol: :lol: :lol:

QuoteSenator McConnell repeatedly promised Senators, the public and the press that his rules for the trial would be same as the rules for President Clinton's trial. After reading his resolution, it's clear Senator McConnell is hell-bent on making it much more difficult to get witnesses and documents and intent on rushing the trial through. On something as important as impeachment, Senator McConnell's resolution is nothing short of a national disgrace.

Senator McConnell's proposed rules depart dramatically from the Clinton precedent – in ways that are designed to prevent the Senate and the American people from learning the full truth about President Trump's actions that warranted his impeachment. The McConnell rules don't even allow the simple basic step of admitting the House record into advice at the trial.

Under this resolution, Senator McConnell is saying he doesn't want to hear any existing evidence, and he doesn't want to hear any new evidence. A trial with no evidence – no existing record, no witnesses, no documents – isn't a trial at all. It's a cover up, and the American people will see it for exactly what it is.

Furthermore, Senator McConnell's resolution stipulates that key facts be delivered in the wee hours of the night simply because he doesn't want the American people to hear them. Any senator that votes for the McConnell resolution will be voting to hide information and evidence from the American people.

As soon as Senator McConnell offers this resolution, I will be offering the amendments to address the many flaws in this deeply unfair proposal and to subpoena the witnesses and documents we have requested.

It is missing a vote for a motion to dismiss. I guess there are arguments both ways on that. Maxine Waters already tells us she is lined up and ready to impeach Trump again if he is cleared on these charges. I think the GOP just has to say they are not going to allow this nonsense in the Senate and let the House Democrats make asses out of themselves.

Someone also has to signal Collins, Alexander, Romney and the Trump haters that they will be opposed by the GOP in the next election.

I just saw Chuckie Schumer whining about the impeachment process. I must admit it is enjoyable watching Chuckie pound sand.  :lol: :lol:
