“A legal ethics rule — the ‘advocate-witness rule’ — says that when a lawyer should be a witness at trial, she cannot also be an advocate in the courtroom,” Gillers wrote. “The Senate chamber is not, of course, an ordinary courtroom, but that should make no difference. The goal is the same — to get the facts and find the truth.”

Vote to allow motions on subpoenaing witnesses & documents fails as expected with 2 GOP senators allowed to break ranks.

Like I said.... If you are not in the majority then you are screwed.
Those in control can do anything they want or do nothing they want as well.
So I guess NEW RULES, if you are in the minority then do not even try.

This has become the dictatorship of King Trump, plain and simple.
There is no other explanation.
Trump has officially become the king, the coup has come full circle, Donald Trump now controls it all. King Trump now controls what they do, controls what YOU DO, King Trump controls it all. Everything.
And that's basically it.

So now all that remains to ask is... at what cost was America sold out for?
At what cost was our democracy sold out for?
AND....
WILL WE AT LEAST HAVE A GOING AWAY PARTY FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
At least a little party, maybe...?

Can't wait till the Dems get in charge now. We can do what ever we want, especially to go after our political enemies. This is going to be fun.

let us hope that ^Trump doesn`t try to over throw our and I say this very loosely DEMOCRACY, in favor of becoming like Putin!!
What scares me is I am not too sure that there are enough Americans who care enough to take a stand!

Shut the fuck up. Seriously. She either rams it through or it doesn’t go to trial until after the 2020 election because that’s when we’d likely have all the presidents council’s appeals finished in the courts.

Do you feel better? It appears that some of those against Trump aren't better than Fox types. If you are so offended by the opinions of othes that aren't precisely the same of yours then put me on ignore.

No thanks. I’ll continue to call out bull shit when I see it. Don’t like it, don’t spew bull shit.
How do we know it’s bull shit? Because of the multiple posts that responded to you, you chose not only to respond to me but you didn’t even bother addressing ANY points that rebutted your claims.

Court stacking here we come!!!
Ype!1 You know what is sad? The Democrats are now forced to do exactly as the Republicans when they get into office! ie stack the courts with liberal leaning Justices.....
Yet until the dem`s defeat Trump, Trump will keep on stacking the courts!
I am glad that I probably will not be alive to see how this plays out in say 20 years....

You should run for office, you seem to think you are smarter than every one anyway. You are always quick to point out flaws in legislation and strategy while conveniently ignoring reality. You are the equivalent of a Tuesday morning quarterback who has never played a game in their life.
But you for some reason have this need , probably from childhood to be right no matter what.....even when presented with an opposing view that you do not disagree!

Done for the day (damage done). Mitch says something about the coming days to finalize the farce. So maybe this won't be wrapped up in a nice little bow for Dufus on Superbowl. Apparently he doesn't have the votes to close this thing down nicey nicey.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Looks like acquittal vote will not happen until Wednesday. Dems can vote on amendments which will all be expected to fail, before that vote, so that could even change. Really, crimping Trump's victory lap timing.
Probably more designed to F with the IOWA caucuses. They never miss an opportunity.

You can’t possibly be serious, she played this about as perfectly as anyone could hope for.

If you think otherwise what actions by Pelosi do you think would have led to a different result?

It's both sides of a different flavor. No amount of damning evidence would turn the GOP Senate against Trump. Testimony from Bolton might well sway some of their voters, however, so they had to snuff that.

You simply aren't worth the effort. You can pronounce anything BS, but as this involves your ego I don't really care.

For everyone else, It would have been nice to see people hauled in under contempt citations until they testify or until the election is over, but I expect many will find an excuse for that too. It seems anything the Dems did or did not do is moot as it's now it's too late. For anyone else the best thing that could be done is the investigations continue just as if the trial never happened. Others can play apologists if as I expect the House runs away from forceful measures. I'll be pleased if I'm wrong.

I'm not a Republican nor a Democrat bitch, thank you.

We're officially a banana republic now, way to go repugs. The rule of law only exists for Dems; Russian assets and christian dominionists can do whatever they want.

Traitors. May you wear this around your neck for the rest of your lives, may the blowback from this be overwhelming in Nov.
