Towards the end of night two of the Senate impeachment trial, the Washington Post reported Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., left the trial over an hour before its conclusion.
Washington Post Reporter Paul Kane said Feinstein exited the Senate chambers through the carriage entrance into an awaiting car at 8:45PM.
On Wednesday, MSNBC Hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes criticized senators who left the impeachment trial early, questioning their devotion to their country.
We also live in a country in which we ask every citizen to serve on juries. Most of those people have other jobs they have to take leave from. If the trial goes for a long time, often they dont collect their paycheck from that and are given a meager amount of money relative to what some of those people might make, Hayes said. These peoples job is to do this. This is literally their job. If you find it too annoying or frustrating or uncomfortable to sit for eight hours and listen, you can resign tomorrow and go get another job.

“Was one of the rules that if you left early you didnt get to vote?”
I’m not sure. I do recall that when this was looming it was reported often that all the senators running for President would be hobbled because they MUST be present every minute this was in session, Mon - Sat, and could not campaign. If otherwise, they would have to recuse. (I haven’t read the Rules.)
Just imagine if some Republicans had done that.
“Commiefornia is a community property state. So DiFi’s hubby’s business relationships are DiFi’s business relationships.”
Liberal fans of Pelosi and notsoFinestein hate it when you bring up that reality.
Good points: The DNC talking points regurgitators just have hate, they’ll direct it at anyone and anything. I attribute this to the lack of their getting the every lovin’ **** kicked out of them when they do. OTOH, agism didn’t work when Kameltoe tried it on Biden.
Sounds like, you are very familiar with that Cali law!
Injured in the schiff drone on attack
the governor would appoint schiff or becerra
there’s another hungry power player in Cal the champion of Reconquista the CAL AG becerra. He would be another strong advocate for illegals in the senate.
The irony is the dems walk out of hearings when the border patrol testifies.
Too familiar, that’s why I don’t live there anymore.
In my CAL divorce the judge specified if my wife remarried i no longer paid alimony. Thankfully she did 3 years later.
True, remarriage kills the alimony requirement. If she really hates you, she’ll just live with the new victim. She gets his financial support, AND your alimony.
No, in California Twinkies are considered dangerous. Remember when Dan White, the guy who shot Mayor George Moscone and Harvey Milk, defended himself by claiming he was high on a Twinkie?
apparently she didn’t really hate me. 1100 a months worth
Regular jurists aren’t harangued for 8-12 hours by lying psychos like Schiff, etc. DiFi. is on the high side of 80. I don’t blame her for leaving. Besides, she already knows how she’s going to vote.
“Im surprised the senate GOP doesnt vote to dismiss, this is sad.”
When asked this morning about dismissal, Rand Paul said he only has 47 votes to dismiss. Don’t know who the hold outs are.
Suppose they gave an impeachment and nobody came.
You got off easy.
Suppose they gave an impeachment and nobody cared?...................
it’s cutting into happy hour for some of these cretins...
