DU legal eagles: since the Democrats control the Senate and the Senate makes the rules
regarding how the trial will be conducted, could they require Senators to render a "special verdict"?
Could they prevent the Republicans from hiding under the "unconstitutional" fig leaf; make them specifically vote on whether inciting insurrection is an impeachable offense and whether Trump's conduct---words and actions--- over s period of several months did encourage, provoke and incite the invasion of the Capitol and the violent attacks on police and others for the purpose of STOPPING THE CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED ACTIONS OF A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS in order to toss out the election results and allow Truml to remain in power.
If they are allowed to simply vote "Yea" or "Nay" on conviction, they will be free to make up their own "reasons" for their acquittal votes.
