I wish Nadler was a little better at dealing with the bullshit that the republicans are trying to pull. Schiff was great at shutting stuff down immediately. Nadler seems a little more prone to getting flustered.

I like the green - yellow - red light system. Can we have it for Members, also, and a trap door under their chair to drop them out of the room when the red turns on?

All of these GOP attempts to disrupt the hearings with procedural nonsense just makes Trump look more guilty.

SubG posted:Ha, he didn't mention (what Madison records as) Benjamin Franklin's rationale for wanting to include an impeachment clause. Smithsonian.com posted:The history of impeachment in the United States is important to understanding the Bill Clinton saga. The Founding Fathers wrote impeachment—originally a Roman political institution—into the constitution for the purpose of removing an official who had “rendered himself obnoxious,” in the words of Benjamin Franklin. Without impeachment, Franklin argued, citizens’ only recourse was assassination, which would leave the political official “not only deprived of his life but of the opportunity of vindicating his character.”

StrangersInTheNight posted:yeah, but to his base it looks like attempts to get things on a level playing field are being denied Raising technicalities in clauses that most people don't understand, and almost certainly no members of the public understand, doesn't raise suspicions about the legitimacy of the process. That argument works better when its something simple, even if its false, like the hearings behind closed doors in the basement of the capitol building. Raising issues with paragraph X, in clause Y, on page Z of subsection 901 just makes the everyday person tune out. They need to state their objections in a way the audience at home will understand if they want to have any effect. For whatever small percentage of persuadables are out there, attempting to defend and refute the facts is going to work a lot better than holding things up with arcane procedural nonsense. The Democrats are making a clear, easily understood case, and the GOP look like they are trying to hinder things from going forward because they have no case.
