POLL: Would board Dimwingers be happy with these rules for the Senate Impeachment Trial?

[Nostra]

1. No public witness testimony.

2. No more than 3 witnesses, with testimony done in secret.

3. Only excerpts selected by Mitch McConnell released to the public.

4. Senate leaders can coordinate and consult with Trump during trial.

 

[Nostra]

Please explain your vote. No hit and run wimps, please.

 

[The Original Tree]

The House impeachment was a Disgusting display of injustice and charlotonism.

Schiff should have been Censured for what he pulled at the very beginning.

Honestly, this should be dismissed based on lack of merit.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Fair is irrelevant.

The House has the constitutional authority to conduct the impeachment as they see fit. Period.

The Senate has the constitutional authority to conduct the trial as they see fit. Period.

End of lesson.

 

[Nostra]

Seems the voting shows overwhelming support for not having witnesses testify in public.

Not you personally...

Congress conducted the inquiry and were clearly obstructed illegally by the WH.
They were prevented from getting evidence and having the witnesses they wanted.
This was an investigation.

Now we get to the trial. The prosecution should be allowed to call witnesses and present evidence OR this is not a trial.

You can try and sell anything to US public but don't claim that this is transparent. The GOP Senate is covering up for what looks like a more and more guilty President.

Innocent people want transparency and shed light on things, guilty want to hide things...

The only rules for the hearing the Dems will be happy with are rules that result in Trump being removed from office. There is an ever growing sense among liberals that they have no candidate who can beat Trump. Therefore they have two options- 1- impeach and remove him before the election, or 2 - pray the economy goes into a recession before the election and Splinters Trumps base. IMO- there best hope is the recession.

The House should have gone to court and followed the normal process laid out in our Constitution when their subpoenas were challenged in court.

That was a delay tactic. They have no basis in law and know they could not be forced by a court order like normal people.

Trump was taking advantage of a position which he was trusted with...

Nazi and her gang of idiots didn't want to follow our system. That's on them, not Trump.

Back to the OP: Are you saying following the rules outlined in the OP wouldn't be fair?

 

[ColonelAngus]

I’d like to see McConnell be as much of a prick asshole as Schiff and Nadler were during their hearings.

Think about a trial where

• The Prosecution is not allowed to call its own relevant witnesses.
• The Prosecution can't bring forward relevant evidence.

This wouldn't be accepted in a tin pot dictatorship....

Where did I say they couldn't bring forward relevant evidence?

3 witnesses, behind closed doors. What's wrong with that?

 

[Nostra]

3 posters says they don't agree with these rules, but can't say why.

 

[Circe]

Let me try:

I don't want ANY witnesses. This is a Stalinist show trial by treasonous Democrats. I want a motion to dismiss immediately.

Yeah, I didn't vote either, because your terms give away too much to the Dems from my point of view.

Why not 6 or 9?

Why closed doors? These are public servants... Why the secrecy? what are they hiding?
