I tuned into the Impeachment hearings late.

I heard Warrens question. I missed Bernie's question. Anyone have a link? I would like to hear what he had to say as well.

(Sorry. Mom care does not give me much time.)

Wow. Have to say Warren knocked me over. She slammed Roberts and I hope gives him pause at what his legacy may or may not hold.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced a seemingly awkward dynamic into the impeachment proceedings when she asked if Republicans' likely refusal to allow new witnesses in President Trump's trial would diminish trust in the chief justice or the Supreme Court.

"The question from Senator Warren is for the House managers," Roberts began.



"At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the supreme court, and the constitution?"

1. GOP Senators agree to draft subpoenas for witnesses and documents.

2. Trump REFUSES TO ALLOW WITNESSES AND DOCUMENTS NONETHELESS.

This, I suspect, is the big fear, the flashpoint for all of the nation.

Trump will defy the Senate if he's subpoenaed.

3. THEN WHAT?

Good question.

However my Senator did a slam dunk...hit a home run and kicked the ball into the end zone.

Pretty sure my Senator was the one that knocked it out of the park.

I don't know how Schiff does what he does. He was on and on point for 10 hours. Sounded a tad hoarse at times, yet spot on.
