Lets just call it what it is. McConnells rules authorize a debate, Not a trial. A trial includes evidence. Even though all agree the Senate has the Constitutional authority to make the rules for an impeachment trial, and that those rules might deviate from a criminal trial 100% expect an actual trial. By definition, a trial includes evidence.

(25,111 posts)And at night? I mean senate doesn't do anything during the day except vote on right wing unqualified judges. Now I see by reading history why 1) Democrats held on to the House for approx. 40 years, and 2) senate was more bipartisan back in the day.
In order to save what's left of democracy, we must control both branches and the WH for many years to come. Impeach the judges who abuse the Constitution and the laws.
I think what the senate Republicans are doing is starting to backfire. Americans are fed up with t-rump and his criminal behavior and the f up administration.
