So with Lamar 50 50? It’s defeated?

Can the Chief Justice cast a tiebreaking vote, like the Vice President (as President of the Senate) does?

i believe there’s no need for a tiebreaker- if they don’t have 51 votes in favor of more witnesses, its over.

No because there’s no role for the Chief Justice in the Senate. He’s from a different branch of the government.

No. The Chief Justice is just the presiding officer and can not call any witnesses without the approval of the senate, nor can he vote. He is not the jury.

Schiff for brains thinks he (Roberts) can call witnesses. That is how GD dumb that asshole is.

That is what Adam Schiff is trying to get Roberts to do.
