Decoy73 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 At least the minority Democrats appear have somewhat of a say in how things go. In other words it’s not only up to Mcconnell. It’s certainly going to be historic, whatever happens. 3 Link to comment

Sounds like a dang GOOD reason to call witnesses if it could potentially provide new and credible information, no matter who it benefits. My understanding is McConnell doesn't want Republicans to call people like Schiff, Pelosi, Hunter Biden and other non relevant witnesses that Trump wants them to bring in Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Why has this hearing gone on now for hours? They keep saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. None of the Representatives are going to change their mind. Stop with the grandstanding, vote and get it to the floor of the house. I'm sick of this whole thing. Link to comment

Stop with the grandstanding, vote and get it to the floor of the house. I'm sick of this whole thing. Because the GOPers behind the dais keep adding amendments to the original HR. They're using parliamentary rules to delay the inevitable, to say to the POTUS, "Hey I fought for you." If you want to see the actual text of the bill that they've been debating for two days now, here ya go: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/755/text?r=7&s=6 116th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 755 Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES December 10, 2019 Mr. Nadler submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. Resolved, That Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate: Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. Link to comment
alexhortdog95 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Yet ANOTHER roll call on an Amendment that was voted down.....again..... 23 Nos, 17 Ayes. And the Republicans yet again submit ANOTHER amendment. Trying to whack out the entire articles of Impeachment. That's like 3 or 4 times they've done that today. Link to comment

If this were an actual jury trial in an actual court, any juror who showed such bias toward a defendant or explicitly stated that they refused to consider the evidence would be removed from the jury. Wouldn't it be amazing in the impeachment hearing if the Chief Justice disqualified any Senator who said this kind of nonsense? That would change everything. I don't think that could happen though. 2 Link to comment
