I heard this in passing on Rush's show and am not a 24/7 subscriber so I am unable to verify this through his app or website or even know if he sourced it from another website or publication.
I'm not trying to confirm what he said, only hoping to confirm the truth of what he said.
He said if the House votes to impeach and the motion then goes to the Senate, that the Senate must then drop all other business and spend six days a week trying the case before the Senate.
In addition, Senators of both parties are prohibited from campaigning while the impeachment trial is underway. This impacts many of the Democrat front-runners: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Amy Klobochar...
The closer this gets to the holidays, the closer this also gets to the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary.
The longer a trial goes on, the more it takes those senators out of action in Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere providing a huge boost to Joe Biden's chances (and a push from behind for Mare Pete).
If anyone can direct me to a link verifying these Senate rules or where these rules are discussed, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rules haven’t seemed to made much difference so far.
They have no intention of bringing impeachment to the floor. The emperor has no clothes
Rules?!
Leftists don’t need no steenkin rules. Rush knows that.
“...if the House votes to impeach and the motion then goes to the Senate, that the Senate must then drop all other business and spend six days a week trying the case before the Senate....”

Well, Hell’s bells, yet another reason to minimize the number of votes to fill the numerous judicial vacancies with Trump’s nominees.
Correct.
He send that during a senate trial, the senators function as jurors, and during such time they are not allowed to campaign at all.
Not sure about the rules, but I’d guess that the Ds expect the Senate to knock down the phony charges and then they can run against the Republican party & Trump.
Bump for later
They will just ignore it and campaign anyway.
An impeachment trial of President Donald Trump could keep Democratic presidential candidates who are also senators off the campaign trail for weeks.
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren would be required to stay in Washington, D.C., during an impeachment trial, according to BuzzFeed News.
Senate rules require senators to be present in session Monday through Saturday beginning at noon every day for an impeachment trial, BuzzFeed reported. Former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial took several weeks.
Bennet said he is unsure whether he could continue campaigning if an impeachment trial takes place, he told BuzzFeed.

It gives the Pundits some cover so they don't have to talk/report about the coup attempt.
Rules? Sure. They will follow the rules.
If the Rats ran the Senate there is no doubt the rule would be waved and the Rat candidates would be given a waiver. But they don’t. Mitt is a Rino but he is a stickler for rules.
he Dems don’t need to campaign. The MSM will gladly do that for them during the trial.
Rush has transcripts on the free side of his website.
This “shampeachment” IS the coup Part I.
Compared to the Gestapo-like star chamber the House is “conducting” to spoon-feed outrageously doctored, Deep Faked testimony to an eager, compliant, orgasmic mainstream media, senators leaving the chamber to ape their AOC-fed lines to their potential voters is like, at worst, jaywalking on a rural dirt road in the country.
