Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE
I believe it is 24 hours and up to 3 days. I hope Mitch runs 12 hour days to keep the 24 hours to two days.
Without 51 votes, adopting impeachment rules is academic. Doesn’t hurt Mitch to make some concessions.
For the House, the extra day is going to make it even harder to stretch out what they have to say...if it weren’t for the formalities, it would probably sound like filibusters from decades past.

Sounds reasonable.
If you are referring to chuckie’s amendment request, I agree with you. Mitch requested a 15 min recess, and after this recess is over, Mitch needs to unwrap his brand new kill switch option and shut this fuster-cluck down right now.
True, that.
At least they’re honest enough to openly admit it, now.
I knew the weasel RINOS were going to open a door for the filthy evil RATS!!! Don’t trust anyone in the senate...NO ONE!! We must get ready to fight for this president the hard way!!!
Ah, okay.
Thanks.
:)
Its not a court of law!
This is not a judicial proceeding but a political proceeding.
To us but to the rats it empowers them!! This chit sham should have been dismissed asap!!
STFU?
;D
Pubs have to let this all play out..or, else they will be accused of a cover-up..?
They will be accused of a cover-up, or worse, anyhow..so, why not read them the riot act?
Roberts?
I’ll wait for the Hannity-Ingraham digest of this mess when I get home tonight.
I can’t stomach to watch gavel-to-gavel coverage.
They’ll vote soon on the rules. I expect them to be adopted on a party line vote.
Trial begins tomorrow.
Evidence obtained through your own investigation during a trial would be admissible. But you cannot compel additional discovery from the other party once the trial has started. The democrats are issuing subpoenas for documents that were not requested during the impeachment hearing. They are trying to get the Senate to do what they failed to do. The demand for additional records or documents should be dismissed by the judge. Roberts would not allow this in any court in America.
Discovery is closed the second the jury is sworn.

Lady, can you do us a favor and lay off the absurd meltdown drama posts?
The 24 hour rule did not change, the only change was allowing the 24 hours of argument to take place up to 3 days instead of two. They still only get 24 hours.
Tell her THIS is not the same as a court of law and has it’s own set of rules to follow.
They are the same rules that were used in the Clintoon trial.
If it was good enough for Clintoon....
