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.

Isn’t making her stay and listen a violation of her 8th amendment right, against cruel and unusual punishment?

I have an alternative idea. Since the U.S. Constitution contains this:
Section 10. No state shall ... make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; ...
I'll take one or two of these... $5 Gold Eagle. They'd still only be paying me $10/day, but that's OK, since it's actual money.
Good.
I like watching them go insane.
Can we apply the same standard for the Notorious RBG?
The entire Left would have a collective heart attack........................
