I don't know how to post an article but this story is brand-new at The Hill website.
That is unconstitutional the Chief Justice has NO say so in this sham!! It is ENTIRELY up to the senate!!!
Roberts has ZERO power to make or even enforce a decision regarding the operation of the Senate as the Trial jury of Articles of Impeachment.
Absolutely no power whatsoever to do this. The Hill is pulling little dewberries out of their own a@@ and pretending to be able to bestow powers to the role Roberts plays in this— which notably is separate from his actual power role as Chief Justice of SCOTUS. No way he “passes rulings” over the Senate. The Senate should, if he tries to do this, have McConnell stand up and say— Case Dismissed by unanimous consent, and The President is acquitted of all the charges, admissable and inadmissable.
