Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other top Democrats on Friday slammed an upcoming vote that looks set to result in a quick end to President Donald Trumps impeachment trial.
The New York lawmaker was responding to Republican Sen. Lamar Alexanders announcement on Thursday night that he would not vote Friday to hear witnesses in the Senate trial.
Its deeply disturbing that on something of such importance to the future of our democracy, a few of my Republican colleagues announced last night theyd vote against hearing additional evidence, Schumer said at a news conference.
Its clear where the American people stand on the issue. Republican senators who decide to go against the will of the people will have to reckon with it.
On Friday, Schumer aimed to portray the trial as bogus unless it involves witnesses such as John Bolton, the former national security adviser.
If my Republican colleagues refuse to consider witnesses and documents in this trial, the presidents acquittal will be meaningless, because it will be the result of a sham trial, the New York Democrat said.

As has been said....”Democrats should be sued for conspiracy to defraud the United States and made to ‘pay’ for this trial”
A ghost sitting in his chair told him so.
Why don’t you shut your mouth already, Doomsday Chuck, because Holy Fickin’ Hell, are you ever boring!
Everything that doesn’t go your way is the end of everything that ever was. Boo hoo, Cryin’ Chuck is cryin’ again.
It's even sadder when it's on a whole nation, the world.
In this case it's more than sad.
Chuck, you're lucky we don't line people up in front of a wall for what you did.
It is a criminal offense to try to pull a coup on a sitting president. Some would call it treason.
You just tried to topple the elected government of the United States, the titular leader of the Western free world.
Now you can go back to just obstructing good legislation as you have for decades. And oh yes, supporting the causes of the enemies of our nation...
Just another piss on their grave demoncRat.
This sounds like a threat.
Only a couple are afraid of this bully and will be handing him their lunch money. Everyone else is rightfully giving him the finger.
The good thing is Schmuckie is totally unlikable, just a nasty son of a b*tch. He always looks like an angry big nosed snake, leering and hissing over his glasses.
Chucky ... Chucky ... Chucky ... may your reckoning instead visit you your next election like a proverbial chorus line of back door bandits at some AIDS sex party.
The Senate would be a much better place if you were gone.
Republican senators who decide to go against the will of the people will have to reckon with it.
Says the self-aware Schumer as he urges the senate to contradict the will of the people and remove Trump from office.
A trial does not cure a case brought by prosecutorial misconduct, it only magnifies the damage to the innocent, and demonstrates an even more out of control government.
What Congress is doing is contemptible.
Which is lie,cheat, steal ... even kill.
Heads on spikes Chuckie
Damn it l am sick to death of this BS. When is the Fn vote. End it.
Uh, I am thinking that all that is going on supports the proposition that Chuck and his fellow Dimocraps continue to follow what is NORMAL for their party.
so funny
Oh, hes so concerned....
Piss off, Schumer.
I think Schumer will retire when his term is up. I can see his heart is no longer in this game.
Democrats: against impeachment witnesses with a democrat president, before they were for witnesses with a republican president.
