over no more than 2 days, followed by 16 hours of questions. No motion to aquit but instead 4 hours of debate after which vote on whether or not to hear witnesses and documents with 51 votes needed in up or down vote on witnesses and documents. That is all i got. Resolution till open to objections from either party.

(15,246 posts)I seriously doubt there are 51 votes from Senators to make themselves stay seated and silent for that long from 1PM to midnight.

(16,616 posts)24 hours over two days. Are they still intending to meet every day at 1PM or have they modified that? Those are some crazy hours.
That sounds like it's really pushing things, time-wise.

Because the debate will be much sharper and difficult if they wait until the end of this process proposed by McConnell.
There have to be witnesses.

(54,770 posts)a honest hearing, even if they've already made up their minds.
Which Senator will whine, use non-words like "irregardless," and mangle verb tenses like Doug Collins?

(44,897 posts)It should take all the time it requires to present the evidence. No more, no less. This arbitrary timetable is just a way sweep it all under the carpet. It's bullshit.
