Fork you CvH!
Roberts has little say in the matter. If McConnell had said the Senate was not going to vote on the issue of additional witnesses (or anything else), Roberts might have interjected that the Senate as a whole has to vote on each and every issue. Other than that, he can’t force how the trial is conducted by the Senate.
The constitution says the senate sets its own rules.
This guy was on Moaning Joe this morning. He knows it will end today. He appeared to be deeply saddened.
A majority can overule the Chair.
“No Republican can question the fairness of this approach-”
yes they can because The senate makes the rules and the SC judge presiding over this senate procedure, has no authority to change that.
I still wonder how the Rats got Roberts to rule in their favor on Obamacare...
If Roberts has any intelligence at all he would not consider stepping in that.
Robert’s has some “splainin” to do.
Was he blackmailed?
“I urge my colleagues to seek out the truth and the facts”
Which begs the question: Why did the democrats impeach Trump without the truth and the facts? Isn’t that a coup conspiracy?
They sure do want Roberts involved in decision making. Which makes me immediately suspicious.
Roberts Rules of Impeachment. How quaint.
the best moment for me of the whole farce:

The pictures of faces around the room when Nadler raced Schiff to the microphone are fantastic.

Roberts should stay out of it, especially if there is a tie cause with a tie, they should lose.
I mean, Orange Man must be really bad for liberals to want to open the door to the precedent to a judge calling witnesses for the prosecution. That’d sure change a number of trials for the liberals potential voters.
George Orwell certainly knew what he was talking about.
The other reason Democrats want the Chief Justice to decide which witnesses are relevant is that if witnesses had to be subpoenaed and that went through to the Supreme Court, Justice Roberts might have to recuse himself from deciding if the witness would have to appear because he had already been involved in the case. Taking one conservative out of the mix could help the Democrats cause.
The comments on the website are mind-blowingly stupid. They must live in an alternate reality.
Every time we get close to winning, the Dems come out with something else.
It's a roller coaster.
One moment I think the President has got a solid case, and the next moment, the Dems have thrown another wrench into the works.
I would like to see this over, but the Dems are never going to let up.
And the Repubs keep letting them get away with more and more.
When is this going to stop?
Not his job
