The committee, made up of some of the most strident lawmakers, clashed all day and into the night as Republicans insisted on lengthy debate over amendments designed to kill the two formal charges against the president. But they had no hope of winning votes from the majority Democrats.
Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said the committee would resume at 10 a.m. Friday.

Even congresscritters who are dumb enough to think Guam could turn over are sentient enough to know that no evidence in hand is a weak way to begin a world-watched trial.
How?
Are you thinking it won’t even get there?
