keep going round and round with the same points again and again.
I hate to minimize the proceedings, but knock off the BS.

I was glued to my set for much of the time. I cant stand to turn on the Senate proceedings. I just get the Readers Digest version each night from news or late night TV.

edit:
Key GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander, a swing vote, told CNN he's going to announce his decision on witnesses tonight, a decision that will make clear whether the Senate trial will come to a swift conclusion or if it will lead to an unpredictable phase over witnesses and documents.
"I'm going to make my decision after the last question tonight," Alexander said.
Asked if he would announce it tonight, he said, "Yes."

Senate Republicans are planning for four hours of closing arguments in President Trumps impeachment trial starting Friday afternoon.
The arguments, presented by both the House managers and Trump's defense team, would be followed by a vote on whether to call additional witnesses and then a final up-or-down vote on the two articles of impeachment.
