Chief Justice John Roberts seemed visibly irritated when Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., formally asked a question during President Trump's impeachment trial Thursday that referenced him and questioned the legitimacy of the Supreme Court and Constitution in relation to the proceedings.

Roberts formally recognized Warren, a Democratic presidential candidate, who then submitted her written question to a clerk.

Oddly, his reading and reaction to the question has been edited out of the film clip on Fox in your link.
So he allows a den to smear him but denies rand Paul from a question about leaker? What an idiot.
Roberts is a plant.
Thanks.
The dems had 18 witnesses and Trump has been allowed ZERO. The “testimony” of 17 of those witnesses have been entered into the record, so what are the dems talking about when they scream about not having witnesses?
Warren’s question was a lead in to today’s upcoming effort by the House Managers to get the CJ to rule on witnesses and subpoenas. A subtle reminder to Roberts that they can still blackmail him.
Unhinged
Senators are required to sit through the entire trial.
