 Senators push for deal on impeachment trial rules to avoid political brawl
By Jordain Carney - 11/07/19 06:00 AM EST

Senators are hoping for a bipartisan deal that would set up ground rules for a likely impeachment trial in order to avoid a political food fight.

Any Senate trial is likely to be high-drama and politically charged, but lawmakers want Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to strike an agreement on a resolution that would establish guardrails for the trial.

Without a deal, the debate over the rules for the impeachment trial could quickly devolve into partisan fighting, according to the lawmakers, with Republicans only needing a simple majority to force through a resolution setting up the process for the trial.

McConnell should establish only one condition before moving forward with articles of impeachment: common sense and at least a passing acquaintance with reality.

If McConnell could pass those two tests he should summarily dismiss the articles of impeachment as being fundamentally flawed and then brace himself, and the senate, for the next round of phony impeachment articles...just as sure as day follows night....

So the poor Senate dems are worried that the majority might treat them the way repubs in the House were treated?

No rules.  I want a brawl.  And Hunter Biden called as a witness.

This is about my right to choose my own leaders.  Not to delegate the task to Adam Schiff.  Whether Trump was a mistake is up to the citizenry.

Roll the grenade.

Have they come up with an impeachable offense yet?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

NO !
No "deals" !
That's two steps toward surrender.

Stand back, hold your reserve, and be ready to fight !
