I'm guessing Schitt didn't allow it either, because Nunes submitted a request at the end of his hearings too.
Is there no remedy the R's can do?
The R's have said from the beginning the impeachment proceedings were not legal (I'm not sure if this is just them talking or true), they have said that the President has a right to exert Executive Privilege, and now this not allowing for a R day of witness questioning. If it is true that this is not according to laws or at least the rules, isn't there anything the R's can do or appeal to somebody?

I’ve been wondering, and asking that, too.
Feds Collect Record Taxes Through November; But Still Run $343.3 Billion Deficit With Second-Highest Spending in Nation’s History

FTA:
(CNSNews.com) - The federal government collected record total tax revenues of $470,706,000,000 in October and November, the first two months of fiscal 2020, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement released today.
Despite collecting that record amount in taxes, however, the federal government still ran a deficit of $343,360,000,000 during October and November because it spent $814,012,000,000 in those two months.
That was the second-highest federal spending in the October-November period in the history of the United States. The only time the federal government spent more in the first two months of the fiscal year was in fiscal 2009 (October and November of 2008), when Congress enacted the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to bailout insolvent banks.
That year the federal government spent $861,137,350,000 in constant November 2019 dollars. (Dollar values in this story were adjusted into constant November 2019 values using the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator.)
The only good thing that the country can see is that the dims do not follow precedent, obey the rules and it will make it that much easier for the Senate.
Linda was just on and assured Hemmer that the Senate doesn’t need witnesses but things like the Biden’s will be handled separately not in an Impeachment Trial.
He said the trial will probably be over in a week.
I don’t trust Grahamnasty but he is up for reelection and unless he is planning on retiring he better be on the up and up, treat the President fairly and honestly.
It’s the rules, I believe.
