They didn't care about the rights of the Minority in the House.
Screw them. take a vote and move on.
Yup. It takes some chutzpah for Dems to block the Republican witnesses in the House, and then complain that the Senate won’t allow them additional Democrat witnesses.
Mitch McConnell said that he would be following the Clinton model for the Trump trial. Nothing else could be further from the truth. McConnell will be limiting the testimony of prosecution and defense within a 48 hour period. A motion for dismissal could come at any time.
1. Testimony by those who have testified in the impeachment hearings may never be heard.
2. Testimony by new witnesses may never be heard.
3. Documents may never be presented.
This 48 hour trial will go down in history as more evidence of the erosion of our Republic.

The House trial, run with testimony mainly behind closed doors, was the surest sign of the diminishment of our republic.
It is the Senate’s job to vote solely on House case testimony. There is supposed to be a vote on the articles as written, and NOT an ever-evolving set of charges and supposedly “new evidence “.
You are in error. There was no House trial. The House proceeding followed the form of an indictment.
Yes, it was behind closed doors but the testimony was televised.
Reread the Constitution so that you know what you are talking about in the future.
The rules haven't be decided yet, and you are misrepresenting what has been proposed.
What has been proposed is to use the same process that was used in the Clinton impeachment trial, which all 100 senators agreed to.
This will not be a 48 hour trial.
The House will get to present the evidence it collected in the House impeachment.
There will be an opportunity to debate the need for witnesses.
New developments since you went to work this morning.
