U.S. Senate
Impeachment Trial
The Senate impeachment trial of former President Trump begins with arguments and a vote on the constitutionality of the trial. Opening arguments from the House impeachment managers and the former president’s defense team are expected to follow.

Goddamn! It takes criminal defense attorney to remind people of the first amendment.
He’s doing a terrible job.
All those lawyers hanging around Trump and he picks this guy?
He is the cousin of Stephen Castor, who was the stupifyingly inept minority counsel in the previous Impeachment.
Looks like we need to keep their record going.
Bump
If you are talking about Bruce Castor, he sounds like he’s working from some notes he wrote on the subway coming to work.
He reminds of the studdering lawyer in My Cousin Vinny. If Trump is watching this he’s raising hell about this character
Exactly he is boring by design
WHAT?!!! this guy is representing President Trump?
I thought he was for the other side. I didn't hear anything which would suggest he's on our side.
We're lost.
I think so too!
NOW I’m worried!
With the LIMITED amount of time, WHAT THE HELL IS TRUMP’S LAWYER DOING ?
Kissing the arses of the Senators. What a WASTE OF TIME!
Did this guy PREPARE remarks? Make note cards? He is all over the place.
Does he think he can sway Democrat Senators with this approach? Does he actually think that Democrats CARE or RESPECT the constitution?
If he does, President Trump has a FOOL for a lawyer.
Why would he get out there fist pumping and yelling that plays well on free Republic but not in the senate when the whole argument is Trump making everyone angry to incite violence showing a precise and boring counter argument is the ideal thing to do
Castor might be the worse defense attorney I’ve ever heard. He wants me to make a cringe. BAD Speaker on top of his lane defense!
At least I hope so.....
...he’s stumbling and bumbling like Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.......without the passion.
THAT’s where I’ve seen him! Great, now I can’t unsee it.
Another good point
So you want Trumps attorney yelling at the senate? You
do realize that’s the whole argument being used against Trump right now
It’s just a show trial. Nobody is going to change their vote based on anything you see or hear. The verdict is already in.
He said something about “my colleague will discuss that,” or something like that. Good. It’s not just him.
You’re not looking for a great orator you’re looking for a straight, precise, boring, fact driven counter argument this is the senate they all think they’re the president in waiting getting angry about his being illegal plays well in free republic not so much with them
Why do I keep thinking of the movie, “My Cousin Vinny”?
