The proper thing to do would be to simply dismiss the whole thing outright and end the partisan sham.... but until the impeachment actually happens, there's nothing to talk about.
Why not accept the same deal Republicans got in the house? Democrats can call whatever witnesses they want, but McConnell can veto them.
Because the House was not conducting a trial, they were writing articles of impeachment. The two chambers have different responsibilities and the Senate's role is to conduct a trial in which all the evidence is presented. That was not the role of the House. The two are different, as per the Constitution.
What ever is needed to see the truth - bring it forth! Many bad people go free because not all get introduced at court. Crazy - but true. I think it manipulates the system.

You are wasting your breath, Trump voters just do not want to see it that way.

And the ruling party gets to make the rules in either case. If they wanted a fair process in the senate, they should have had one in the house. Elections have consequences.
DJTs entire strategy in both investigations has been to eliminate all possible sources of information. Witnesses and documents will only hurt him, potentially badly, so he's opposed. McConnell wants the conservative court nominations to continue, so he'll fully support DJT. The net result are two prime examples of how a President can perform a successful cover-up of his misdeeds.

How was it not fair? The Trump administration was invited to participate and testify and they declined. That's on Trump.
Trump says he wants witnesses and documents introduced in the Senate trial.
"Trump has previously made comments about allowing high-ranking officials to testify or answer questions but has not taken any steps to make that happen."
So if the President wants witnesses to exonerate him of any wrongdoing, then why is McConnell making the unilateral decision to block them from testifying as well as introducing any documents that might exonerate Trump? I just don't get it.
Trump was complaining about the Schiff hearings. Schiff took total control and disallowed repub witnesses, prevented witnesses form answering questions asked by repubs and leaked tid bits favorable to democrats to the media.
Now the call for witnesses?????????????? the ship has sailed, the horse is out of the barn.
Trump's call for witnesses had a time limit and was intended to make the Schiff hearing somewhat resemble equal justice.
Situation has changed, dems stumbled, no need for witnesses now.
