    Well, the House made up the rules without a vote as they went along, what makes you think the Senate can't?

    Congress was given the impeachment for Clinton December 19th the trial did not start until January 7th. I'm talking the trial when the Chief Justice brings the body to order that only happens after the preliminaries and rules and scheduling the ACTUAL trial. The more Pelosi delays official notification the longer until the trial can begin.

    Funny... a man for no seasons... I hope your prediction is true...

    I fully disagree with Peterson and Golden, but they made a conscience vote and didn't have to suck up to anybody to do it...

    And yet the Senate still reached a rules package of 100-0 during that trial. I dare McConnell to try and obtain the same this time around.

    Nothing has been proven. No facts produced. The charges are vague.

    So what is the take away? This purely partisan impeachment has made impeachment totally meaningless.

    The "take away" is that the president is going to have to mount some sort of defense in a Senate trial against these 2 charges/articles (whenever Nancy decides the playing field is fair)..

    You don't determine the "take away" at halftime of a game...

    Trump just confirmed Cippilone will be his primary defense lawyer in the trial, ruining the thoughts that Rudy would be the man... Damn!

    I am sure it will, Congress that is, in this sense. It will go full steam ahead on the basis that their subpoenas are valid until TRUMP gets a Court to say otherwise.

    Of course it is. If you disagree do what the dems didn't do and go ask the court.
    Trump doesn't have to ask permission to invoke executive privilege, it comes with the job.

    Silly, the WH doesn’t have to go to court to force the WH to honor it.

    Fair enough if the WH had issued the subpoenas. Did they?

    You have to invoke executive privilege in response to specific questions in order to invoke executive privilege.

    Trump has not appeared and has prevented multiple witnesses from appearing by invoking ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY.
