So I should go ***** myself?

 

The way I see it is that...

 

1. Democrats and Republicans both call witnesses.

 

2. Republicans exonerate Trump without calling a single witness.

 

Neither of these options even the playing field, though. So what is your suggestion?

It's already been set.  No witness, so no witnesses.  Should have been witnesses from both sides in the house.   Did I offend you earlier?  Surely you know comments on this board are mainly said in jest, no?  Now if you'll excuse me I need to get busy taking my billions.

You obviously haven't been paying attention... Opening arguments, questions, then debate, and only then is there a decision made on calling witnesses. All of Schumer et all bluster is only that... bull####

 

See what @Cinga so eloquently said above. It hasn't been set yet.

You say an even playing field is needed. How does that happen?

Yeah, right...

Remember that Minority Hearing Day that the Rules in the House required?  You know, the one Nadler completely ignored over notices, letters, and motions demanding them?  I remember it never happened. And that was just the icing on the cake.  For Democrats to be disingenuous enough to call for more Democrat witnesses and call the rejection of that "unfair" is utter B.S. and it shows that (A) they can't look far enough into the future to see that the wheel comes around, or (B) they're not honest.

There isn't one.  That's the point.  One side was not permitted to call fact witnesses during the lower house proceedings because the object was to get impeachment over the finish line.  There was no fair trial.  Therefore, the Senate should do the same thing.  It's partisan BS.  If you make a ***** sandwich then prepare to take a bite of a ***** sandwich.  There is no fixing this mess.  This was created to put some skid marks on the president's record.

What happened in the House wasn't a trial.

 

The trial is the Senate's job.

 

If Republicans want to call witnesses now, they can go right ahead.

What happened in the House was a farce. It was nonsense, partisan, and completely without merit. 

 

The Senate will smash it. Per its mandate. And there's nothing Schumer or Schiff can do about it but whinge.

The minority was also permitted to call fact witnesses and a couple of their witnesses did testify.

 

It also wasn't a trial.

False. Again. Proving how little you actually understand. The minority was NOT permitted to call any of its own witnesses. They were forced to call witnesses from a list approved by Schiff. 

 

***** off with that misinformation.

Who forced them to call a witness from Schiff's list? Nobody forced them - it was a choice the minority made.

of course, the key portion is, 'from Schiff's list...'. they were denied every single witness they wanted to call.
