Roberts, though conservative, has shown himself to be acutely aware of how history will remember him (he was the swing justice in the decision that upheld Obamacare). It is highly unlikely that he’d deny Democrats’ appeal to bring in material witnesses to testify, if they agree to Trump’s witnesses.
The Senate Republicans could technically vote to overrule the chief justice, but doing so would look nakedly corrupt; vulnerable Senate Republicans could even face electoral blowback. So, in all probability, allowing Trump to call witnesses is a path to getting Democrats the right to call witnesses, too.
Trump loves to say he really wants something that he actually wants to avoid. He said he really wanted to testify in front of former special prosecutor Robert Mueller, but then refused. He’s said he’d release his taxes and then (over and over) he didn’t. His supposed desire to see witnesses at the Senate impeachment trial follows the same pattern. Trump knows his witnesses would likely make him look much, much worse, but he’s confident Democrats will never call his bluff.
It’s time for Democrats to call his bluff.
