re: Turtle releases impeachment trial rules

"After reading his resolution, it's clear Senator McConnell is hell-bent on making it much more difficult to get witnesses and documents and intent on rushing the trial through," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. "On something as important as impeachment, Senator McConnell's resolution is nothing short of a national disgrace."
fricking rich as hell for any scum-sucking prog fascist to accuse the pubs of rushing anything with respect for this farce of an impeachment.
The best thing about this all is that most of the main dim players, like Schumer and Naddler, are on record during the Clinton impeachment literally stating the opposite of their current positions, which will be continually cited to rebut their hypocritical asses.

No surprise Chuckie's upset; McConnell did VERY well. Time restraints for everything. No stalling, grandiose speeches.
This nonsense has already gone on for too long.

You are spot on, Turtle even having a vote on witnesses and subpoenaed docs is gracious. It looks like (not quite sure yet) That barring any surprises Turtle has the votes to essentially dismiss with a yay or nay immediate vote after they hear from the Democrats lawyers and Trump's lawyers. This is another reason CNN/Schumer/The media/DNC are fuming.
Sounds like Turtle told the Romney's to hear them all out and barring no surprises he has the votes to dismiss. (Maybe Romney saw his poll numbers?)
It is not “gracious.”. It is the compromise that was necessary to get those folks on board.
Trump supporters wanted te ability to present a motion to dismiss. My guess is that they horse-traded to get it by allowing a vote on presentation of witnesses.

Like what nadless did then calling recess until the next morning.

I think I agree with everything you stated, Hank. And you weren't really a dick about it either.

In my fast typing of what I thought was happening. I said the following...
I had to re read it twice in thinking I screwed up in the terminology.
I didn't. It is Democrats lawyers...
Democrats lawyers.
Name an impeachment that it is this way. As impeachments are never to be partisan to be called democrats lawyers. All young people reading, please know this... impeachments are not partisan usually. And NEVER should a Speaker have a parade and hand out pens.
I hope lawfare blogger lawyers get their arse handed to them by Jay Sekulow alone.

LOL at Senate Dems complaining about 12 hour days, calling it a "total sham,"
when regular working man types pull 12 shifts on the reg.

You misunderstood or I explained wrong. By the time Presidential impeachments hit the ground running they have both D and R support. Clinton was impeached with 5 democrats. He was not removed because it was not bipartisan like Nixon.
But actual criminal charges were presented (Mueller did not charge Trump) The democrats composed and charged Trump is more what I meant.
And what Pelosi did with the fake solemn prayer crap and pen celebratory selfies was wrong and unprecedented.

This is importeant to me - otherwise they can spring a witness spewing hear-say and outright lies, along with their presumptions - Which is why NEW witnesses at this point are stupid.
Must have some insight into what they are going to say - who/where they got their info from, and fully explore the motivation for bringing it forward at the late date.

So are the Republicans going to call Biden to testify the meaning of his video and his son's dealings in the Ukraine? Seems relevant to me.

Maybe Romney was informed that the extended Family that had ties to Ukrainian money kickbacks...would be called to testify.

I'll take you at your word. My jest was an observation that you tend to ruffle some feathers and, IMO, it is likely as much your delivery as the content of the opinion expressed.
At any rate, you are correct that Mitch would not have released what he has if he did not have the vote.
