"My personal view is the House conducted a partisan show trial," Cruz said Thursday. "They denied due process. They didn't allow the president to cross-examine witnesses. They didn't allow Republicans to call witnesses. I think the Senate needs to do better. We need to respect due process. We need a fair proceeding. That means we need to let both sides present their case."
"If the president wants to call witnesses, if the president wants to call Hunter Biden or the whistleblower, the Senate should allow the president to call witnesses in his defense," the Senator said.

Plus it would keep 5 DemonicRat senators from being out on the campaign trail.
There are sound reasons for either option.
Add this factor in the President’s favor, in the event of a long trial: his counsel gets to do discovery.
The thing that really confuses me is; Why would the house dems send this to the senate if there is risk of exposure for hillory, the state department and deep state?
“Well then Scott Adams is wrong. Not having a trial and not calling any witnesses will just be spun as meaning you are guilty. Trump is right. It must be a “spectacle” as it will be the only way for people to see and hear about it. The Democrats have had the media for 3 years peddling lies. Trump deserves 2 weeks to defend himself.”
Yup, Adams is wrong. If Trump is reelected in 2020, there would be nothing to stop Democrats from pulling non-stop imeachment hearings into the future. No, every cockroach needs to be pulled from under the rock and squashed in the most humiliating way. Otherwise there will be no closure.
this impeachment has got to be used to destroy every one involved in pushing for it. you want to make sure that everyone demacrat or republican fear using it as a partison weapon in the future.
“Mock the charges with a one-sentence dismissal, then go straight to a vote.”
Bingo.
Call the press and toss the Impeachment articles into the garbage.
The Democrats are bullies and the only way to stop from being bullied is to punch the bully in the face...hard.
You’re right.
I don’t think Scott Adams is right about every thing Trump. A few months ago he was saying Trump has no chance at reelection. Again, calling no witnesses seems like the worst move they could make. The Democrats already claim President Trump is going to get off just because the Senate is majority Republican. The GOP needs to lay out their case and do this right.
You're quite right...legally it means nothing at this juncture of maturation.
Nice cover for yourself, IDIOT.
Isn’t Beto O Mao in your neighborhood, Teddy Boy? Are you and Glenn passing out teddy bears to the kids in Authoritarian Oaf’s Concentration camps for Christmas. Thanks for helping out the citizens...er invaders of the republic. 230 million vs. 535...or was that 666 ways to Sunday, Chuck? A.L.M.S. American Lives Matter Sociopaths

Remember the ALAMO!
Remember the republic?
The Adams Persuasion filter is very different than our normal filter on these things.
I totally agree with your gut reaction on this - but I think there are other things going on in DC that we don't have the skinny on.
6th ammendment, see Borges v the Fitness to Practice Committee ...
Common and Constitutional Law...
Isn't that GREAT?
Has Trump destroyed the Media Death Star?
Loze whut?
He will win a second term
Wheels within wheels.
Ponder the curious case of Norma Asnes from the impeachment wars of 1998-99.
Agreed - but you can't let the Democrat Media out of the killbox.
We have to remember that Trump understands The Show.
While I am a conservative fellow, and would pick the win up off the table - President Trump has a wee bit more experience in high-stakes action.
I'm just going to watch The Show, and learn.
