Justice Roberts has only a minimal role in this farce; he has no real power. The Senate makes the rules and can vote to override any sustained (or even overruled) objections. Constitutionally, he just has to preside over the matter. The Senate doesn't have to give him any actual power to rule on evidentiary issues, objections, etc. 4

If I were the House Managers, I’d take notes every time the WH reps hint at needing to hear from direct fact witnesses. 3 1

B-Man Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Despite talking for 24 hours in the Senate impeachment trial, Democrats failed to mention key evidence, because they know facts aren’t on the side, President Donald Trump defense attorney said in opening statements Saturday as Trump’s defense began arguments. Cipollone promised that Trump’s attorneys would present the evidence that Democrats omitted, and said that those watching should ask: “Why am I just hearing about this now, after 24 hours of sitting through arguments?”: “The fact that they came here, for 24 hours, and hid evidence from you, is further evidence that they don’t really believe in the facts of their case.” White House Counsel Pat Cipollone: "Today, we are going to confront them on the merits of their argument. Now they have the burden of proof and they have not come close to meeting it."

Now they have the burden of proof and they have not come close to meeting it." Full video: https://cs.pn/36qtqxx The Democrats – not President Trump – are actually the ones trying “to perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history,” Cipollone said: “That this is, for all their talk about election interference, that they’re here to perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history. And, we cannot allow that to happen. “It would violate our constitution. It would violate our history. It would violate our obligations to the future. And, most importantly, it would violate the sacred trust the American people have placed in you and have place in them. “The American people decide elections.” 3

dubs Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Caught 5 minutes from Philbin and saw him demolish Schiff and the Dems. Good efficient, effective work. Edited January 25, 2020 by dubs 6
Foxx Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 it's going to be interesting to see the parade of Dems before the cameras and their talking points the rest of the weekend. @Tiberius? 1

I was running errands. Caught what I think was him while driving around. Was he the one explaining about why the White House wouldn’t comply with subpoenas? He was good if it was him. 56 minutes ago, realtruelove said: Jay Sekulow needs to be kept behind the scenes. Great content but horrible delivery. He’s good during the breaks when talking to the press. I don’t think he’s got the right temperament for the hearing.
Nanker Posted January 25, 2020 Author Posted January 25, 2020 Gosh, the Dems sure forgot to talk about a whole lot of facts while they were redundantly bloviating and lying and bloviating and lying and bloviating and lying for 24 hours of preachifying. 2
