One thing that has struck me. If the questions being asked mostly by the Democrats were being asked in a court of law rather than a congressional public hearing, most would never be allowed by a judge. This is more so by the Democrat members of congress. The lawyers (non-congresspersons) did a decent job but the regular office holders, even though many are lawyers, would never get away with their leading questions and conclusions forced upon Taylor and Kent. Should have spent the time watching 'The Command'. I listened on the radio while driving today. Seems like hearsay is much approved by the Democrats. Wonder how that will play during the trial, if there is one (which I doubt). I saw a few minutes and I was thinking the same as Richard. They are telling the witness what they want them to say and asking if it is true. We knew this was going to be a political process, not a legal one from the beginning. One intriguing possibility in the Senate would be for McConnell to move for immediate dismissal on a simple up down vote. I wonder if Roberts would go along? I also wonder how long it is going to take to get this out of the house in the first place. Being political theater, I assume they want to milk this cow as long as they can. The only thing that would slow them down is if polling in swing states started indicating that they think this is a witch hunt. Nobody really cares about what the blue states think, we already know, so national polls are meaningless. Would be interesting if some of the senators brought up the possibility of charging Pelosi with Sedition. Seeing as this is just one of many attempts to impeach and bring down a legally elected president in since the election. |
