I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Lisa's new found courage is somehow making her even sexier than she was before!
Lisa ?!?!? Game, set, Match ...
Wow. Lisa comes through with an excellent point.
“””””Lisa Murkowski........ being the most independent-minded Republican senator in the caucus””””””””””””””””””””
They spelled RINO POS wrong.
Not looking good for the circus clowns.
Neither side wants witnesses, they don’t want the corruption machine exposed. So, instead we will have kabuki theater - the ‘pubs will rationalize the “no witnesses” votes, and the dems will then claim a cover-up until November.
Meanwhile, calling Hunter Biden as a witness creates no issue of “executive privilege”, since he was never a federal employee.
And if the Democrats scream that he’s irrelevant to the case, Trump’s attorneys can reply that he is CENTRAL to the case. If Hunter was getting paid via corruption, partially funded by US aid money, then Trump was totally justified in asking Ukraine to investigate.
In reality, in a conflict between the executive and legislative branches, the Courts are supposed to decide. If the alleged urgency to protect the 2020 election had any merit, the Courts would provide an expedited ruling, and the House could have had their witnesses if their demand had legal merit. The truth is this is all a cynical campaign ad for the November election, and the democrats are hoping their impeachment charade will do more to motivate their base than it does to alienate swing voters. Considering that they were going to lose in November, they might as well try this Hail Mary.
They wouldn’t have to go through the courts this time.
Lisa is lying.
All they have to do is ask the judge of the trial, CJ Roberts.
Sounds more to me like this lying attention whore is signaling her Democommie friends they need to up the bribe.
The Lower House doesn’t dictate to the Upper House.
Schumer just said that if there’s a bipartisan agreement in the Senate to issue subpoenas, the court will quickly approve them. Maybe, maybe not.
Murkowski and others seem to think it will take a while to make its way through the courts. Who’s right? Schumer, or wavering Republican senators?
I think the author is right. There seems to be no appetite for the battle that would ensue if the Senate issues subpoenas. I almost hope it happens, just because it would be interesting to watch how the process plays out. Still, it would be best for everyone, including Democrat, that this circus end soon.
We’ll probably know by next Wednesday, if not sooner.
Witnesses have no probative value. The House’s case is based entirely on hearsay and unfounded speculation about the President’s motives.
Democrats didn’t want to call witnesses in the House. It isn’t the Senate‘s obligation to fix the shortcomings in their case.
Its time to move on and to get back to the business of the country.
Don’t worry, there is always Mittens to take he place at the Dems’ side

The House created a turd...
Delivered it to the Senate...
Then they demanded the Senate to polish the turd.
No wonder they lost even the most anti-Trump Republican senators. Polishing this turd will get way too much stink on them.
New found respect for Senator Murkowski.
In a very few words, plain words, she hits it over the fence.
Is it me or has Mittens been unusually quiet?
DISMISS the whole dam thing and then start the investigations in the proper committee.
The spice must flow!!
So now the Legislative Branch has Primacy over the Executive?
