Is Trump gonna be made to take the stand, and if not why not?

Because boy oh boy would I like to see him go up there and perjure himself while simultaneously admitting to everything and saying he'll do it again.

No. And because he doesn't want to. Those are, sadly, the actual answers to your questions.

Why... why does that matter? I was under the impression the Senate could just... order people to testify?

Not that I'm not enjoying the mess we're seeing right now (although maybe enjoyment is the wrong word), but it seems like the easiest way to get people to pay attention would be to give him the chance to admit his guilt live.

Anyway, I am really not understanding this Due Process argument. What is the argument they're trying to make here...?

Aren't they expressly arguing that Trump must be given the "right" to show up and confront his accusers?

What is the due process they are saying Trump didn't get? I can't figure it out.

Every single word he's uttering about due process is a bad faith argument. This isn't a criminal trial and Trump is owed no due process.

Edit: More accurately, the trial itself is the due process. A trial he has expressly refused to attend.

They're not making any arguments. They know their defense doesn't matter and Republicans will acquit regardless. They're just filling time.

They're making bad-faith arguments. McConnell wouldn't have taken up the trial until right before the 20th.

Edit: All they can do is be dishonest. Full stop.

The editors at Fox, OANN and Newsmax will just scan through eveything they say for 20 seconds of something that sounds good and just air that and call it a success. Everything else is just there so that it looks like they used their time to give compelling arguments. If they spoke for 5 minutes some of the marks would notice that maybe that doesn't seem right.

So if we follow this argument that no impeachment can be brought ever because it is inherently a bill of attainder.

It's a smokescreen. The outcome is pre-determined, so why would Trump send anyone but two rubes to go and make fraudulent statements and bad-faith arguments?
