Republicans, who are in the minority, will have the right to call witnesses and even issue subpoenas, but only if the majority Democrats agree first.
In other words, HALF of the nation will be silenced in a IMPEACHMENT process.

The problem is not enough Americans give a frick.
As long as we don't miss The Voice and the game next Saturday we don't care.
We're the dumbest, laziest most disinterested populace on the planet.

Democrats are committing treason out in the open
Sick people. We aren't going to let Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff remove our President because their feeling are hurt

While I'm not entirely disagreeing with this. You do realize that this entire impeachment circus is THE REASON most American's DGAF about these processes right? Why would the average person care about political theatre? This is the same B.S. that they've been doing.

Just for context, this was the case in both the Nixon and Clinton impeachment proceedings, though there is no documented evidence of the majority not allowing a witness.
The requirement for the majority approval is not an issue, it's a matter of parliamentary procedure. If they choose to use that majority to not allow witnesses, that's certainly an issue.
If Scalise was telling the truth, and Schiff did in fact tell witnesses they didn't have to answer questions, then I guess we have an indication of how it will go. But don't go freaking out just yet. Its just procedure.

It's not. They don't give a shite about the actual impeachment vote. This will be pure propaganda live for everyone to see and the Republicans will have to sit there with mouths shut. This can greatly affect the perception for voters and I don't think its favorable to Trump.
This has been a campaign ploy from the beginning and public hearings leading up to the election, where the republicans have no voice is not good.

You can put lipstick on that pig all you want, it's still a pig.

If they cannot ask questions then they should just not show up.

I don't know about that. Take someone like me for instance, someone who has stated that not only do I not like Trump, I think he probably had ulterior motives in his request.
If Schiff is actually telling witnesses they shouldn't answer questions, or if the Democrats don't allow Republicans to subpoena witnesses, then my feeling of "I was never going to vote for a Democrat, but I don't feel good about voting for Trump" certainly moves much more to "I was wrong, a reasonable investigation was never possible, and I need to suck it up and do my part insure they can't take the WH."

He is trying to play the intellectual bi-partisan role and failing miserably. He is a self absorbed clown.

Who the frick cares. The Senate will never uphold impeachment so let the stupid dems hang themseleves in the House.

I’m sure the NYT will have zombie Walter Duranty pipe up to say the trial was fair.

Confirmation bias or are you going with the "plausible" line of thinking?
