That concerns a PARTICULAR WITNESS.

NOT about calling witnesses in general.

He wanted to empower Roberts to make the typical rulings of a Judge WITH NO JUDICIAL REVIEW..meaning appeals court(the senate)...etc.

He wants to take away the power of the Senate ONCE THEY VOTE TO CALL WITNESSES

Schiff is wrong (again). Roberts does not have that authority to rule on witnesses.

New story just tonight that Roberts wanted to ban all questions about the whistleblower. McConnell told him the senate would hold a public vote and he would be rebuked. So he backed down and agreed as long and Eric Ciramella’s name was not used. That is what happened with Rand Pauls question. Rand Paul has already publicly stated the whistleblowers name a few weeks ago

Schiff also wanted Roberts to rule on the admissibility of documents, too.

Schiff’s behavior in the house has made him feel all powerful. He actually thinks he can talk his way into giving Robert’s more power than the senate delegates to him. The senate makes the rules here, not Schiff and not Roberts. Roberts is just a referee. Any decision he makes can be over ridden. When it comes to protecting senate rules the turtle becomes the bulldog.

"Professor Dershowitz 20 or so years ago."... Schiff will cling to that until the GOP finally shoves his case up his assets. Ok, Adamn, let's go back in time...

"Because we are here today because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. ... Until the Republicans free themselves of that hatred, our country will suffer." (Rep.Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca)- 1998)

Dem answers and questions are nothing but the same old political statement talking points.

The problem, generally, is that the right of executive privilege claims over senior advisors is the President's right.

It's not within the power of Congress to take this away, either by vote of the Senate or a ruling in an impeachment trial by the Chief Justice.

It's the President's right, and if he wants to contest the call of witnesses via the full and complete access to the courts, the Senate cannot take that right of access to the courts away from him.

It was a trap by Schiff to offer this compromise to the President's team, because it's not his nor the Senate's compromise to offer.

It's the President's right, and the President's right of access to the courts.

Fox is reporting Rand Paul may try and force issue on Thursday with Roberts to allow him to name the Whistleblower during Q&A.

No. Some peeps are drama queens. If libs had ‘anything’ they would have played their hands long ago. Trump will win. Libs are just throwing everything at the wall to see if anything can stick.
