The foolish female senator from Massachusetts had inflicted a fatal wound on the Democrats’ impeachment monster
Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren’s obnoxious question, slamming the legitimacy of John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who was presiding over this Senate impeachment trial, was one of the pivotal moments in the Senate impeachment hearing. Warren’s totally inappropriate question turned the tide on the issue of additional witnesses, the only outstanding question, during the entire farce of the Senate impeachment trial against President Trump.
Whatever she said or did cannot be that significant. She is being scapegoated here, IMHO.
Maybe they could blame it on Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler.
??
Lieawatha can’t help herself, she’s a hot-blooded Indian....../s
I think she had zero effect.
I don’t think it swayed the Chief Justice one way or the other.
Republicans already thought the democrats crazy and this was nothing new.
And Democrats were deep in a delusion of their own making, so Warren didn’t affect them either.
The only person I see Warren hurting is Warren.
Jay Sekulow directly asked Schiff if his case was complete and compelling.. To which Schiff answered yes.... So, if its complete and compelling... how can one make the argument it needs more witnesses?
Giving Warren way more credit than Liawatha will ever deserve.
Ted Cruz said this hours ago. So naturally the bloggers are going to jazz it up and repeat it for clicks.
There were other things, but her question was something of a tactical nuke.
she certainly persuaded Murkowski
I don’t think it was her comments themselves that were problem. The problem was she made them using smoke signals. Very dangerous.
..
You must have missed the story claiming that Murkowski hinted that she came out against witnesses when she heard Warren’s ridiculous question. I think it was in a Canadian publication.
Canada Free Press, yesterday’s news today.
It couldn’t have helped, but the realization that even stipulating the reporting on Bolton was true didn’t affect the charges was probably more decisive.
Yes it was significant, because it indicated the Dems’ strategy was to make Roberts himself part of the debate.
And THAT really rubbed several moderate Senators (like Murkowski) the wrong way, and had them asking WHY such a tactic would be needed if the Dems’ case really was so “overwhelming”.
So yes, Warren’s idiotic question helped to kill any further witnesses.
(BTW, Nadler’s opening charge about a Republican “cover-up” also helped to kill any goodwill)
so - 2 unforced errors by the Dems
Leftists always overreach. Always.
On merit, the squaw couldn't get on the law faculty of a correspondence school. She really was an affirmative action hire.
Finger pointing time! Get more popcorn!
Yes, I think the Senate can vote to give Chief some functions, which I believe they did! He has no jurisdiction.
I agree. It was kind of fun for Cruz to blame it all on here, but Roberts wasn’t going to rule on that regardless.
It takes a two thirds super majority to convict in the Senate. The Democrats knew they never had that from the start. Warren is only one of one hundred Senators. No matter what she said Schiff and Pelosi are to blame.
