Senate is back.
Schumer straight up asked Roberts if he was aware of the fact that the Chief Justice broke ties in the Johnson trial and Roberts said he was and went on to state that he doesn't consider those "isolated cases, 150 years ago" to give him that power here. Also before that McConnell's schedule was read out and it looks like the differences from what I had in my other post is that closing arguments are now 4 hours not 6 (and they start at 11 AM when I think all other days have started at 1 PM but whatever) and they are adjourned from Monday whenever they're done with those arguments until Wednesday at 4 PM where they will immediately hold the final vote so I guess no deliberation period. unless this is all theater and one of schumer's amendments adds that in but i highly doubt it --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Democratic Amendments are over:
They're currently voting on the resolution that sets the aforementioned schedule (and also closes the record and forbids any attempt to re-open it.) I assume it'll pass 53-47 and that'll be it for the week. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

They voted to cede all senatorial power to Roberts? Lmao the GOP should have said yes.Why? They just voted them all down. Giving Roberts the power to determine the probative value of subpoenas just cracks the door open to him saying, "Yeah, Bolton is relevant." Like I think they could still then overrule him but my layman understanding of the motion would be that Roberts would have the first say and the amendment specified he's ruling on the relevance/probative value of the motions as opposed to the current situation where the Senators have the first and only word (since Roberts just said he isn't breaking ties). Roberts's own rational for "I can't rule on tiebreakers!" is that he has no business ruling in the Senate, but adopting that amendment would be the Senators literally empowering him so it would kill that logic and force him to either rule that obviously these witnesses and documents are relevant to the Articles or dig even deeper into aiding the cover-up by somehow saying they aren't. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

They need to jump on every perceived slight as "SEE THEY'RE ALL OUT TO GET US" instead of just, I dunno, supporting their candidate. 90% of what they want to talk about is what others think of Bernie instead of about Bernie himself. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. ...

I don't think 'they're out to get us', but I do think it's so weird the establishment blames Bernie for not unifying the party, which in turn makes it harder to unify the party? Like if her concern was really getting the left to all come together on something that comment is the exact opposite tone she should be taking.
