'Witness Reciprocity' is a bad idea. Trump should have NO limit to number of witnesses.

'Witness Reciprocity' would limit the number of defense witnesses to the number the Dems call. Trump should have no limits whatsoever as to number of his witnesses.

Well it’s a good idea if you’re trying to save face because you realize your charade is about to collapse and expose you for being a bunch of cry babies

i think its framed wrong

what they are talking about is the ability to call witnesses not a 1 for 1 back and forth deal

if dimms call 3 witnesses the repubs cal call 12 or 13 if they want

its just about opening that door of do you rule on what the house passed or do you open it all up and start calling new or old witnesses

100%!

If Dems open that Pandora's Box, it should no-holds-barred in terms of who the Defense can call.

How about an impartial jury while we're at it right?

The audience of the American public and world serve as somewhat of a check on partisan proceedings. The value of this check is greatly diminished if the accused is not able to mount a full defense.

ETA: when I saw your post, I thought you were genuinely concerned about having a fair hearing. I looked at your post history and now realize you’re a partisan hack. How can you make an argument the accused shouldn’t have a full defense? You do realize it may take more than one witness to rebut all aspects of a prosecution witness’s testimony, right?
Honestly, I try to be civil, but if you don’t believe in the rights of the accused, you really suck, fundamentally and thoroughly.

The real jury will vote in November...this shite show pretty much guarantees the outcome.
