Had Collins not written the note to Justice Roberts...would he have done anything......?

It's not a presiding judge's job to review and censor the content of the parties in a court case. Absent an objection from either side, the general rule is for him to simply let the proceedings move along.

Rumor has it Collins has also passed a note to the FISA Court clerk requesting that someone in the group actually reads the evidence before the court before issuing warrants. But the FISA Court clerks response needs to wait until a blue ribbon commission on reading and comprehension among federal judges has been completed.

I bet Susan Collins was the girl in class that snitched to the teacher on a daily basis.

“Absent an objection from either side”

Senate Rules bar objection.

This is not a court case. This is a one of a kind impeachment trial as laid out in the Constitution and precedent. The presiding Justice’s role is to maintain order and keep the two sides moving along. There was no censoring and I saw the video. Roberts is trying to keep it civil. That’s part of his responsibility.

Collins should have known the Dems actually can accuse anyone they want regardless if she finds it hard to hear or not.
