“One by one, the seven House impeachment prosecutors seeking President Trump’s removal from office reconstructed a case against the president so dense — at times, head-scratchingly complex — that it was hard for senators new to the material to keep up.”

The New York Times called it “a meticulous and scathing case for convicting President Trump and removing him from office on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.”

The Washington Post reports Rep. Adam Schiff “gave an emotional closing, rehashing the facts of the case as presented over the last eight hours, urging senators to learn the ‘full truth’ and warning that the ‘truth is going to come out.'”

David Gergen on CNN doesn't see how the Republican defence of Trump can last more than a few hours since they won't be using facts. What will they have to present? Opening remarks were short too.

2. Yes. McConnell didn't say anything about not bringing lighters into the

senate chambers. The Republican defence of Trump may just be a silent vigil for trump.

3. Do the rules cover whoopee cushions? Just curious. :)

4. Ha!

5. Hey, if we can't see when Republicans leave their seats ...

We should at least -hear- when they're squirming.

6. It will make it obvious who is back to their seat after passing notes to Chief Justice Roberts. nt
