Democratic Senator Planning Last Ditch Effort to Go Around McConnell on Witnesses

Posted at 3:00 pm on January 30, 2020 by Nick Arama

As we reported here and here, it looks like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) likely has the votes to block calling new witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial

That has Democrats scrambling to figure out how to get around that and continue this ridiculous exercise.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is now trying to do an end run around McConnell. He’s announced he plans to make a motion to have Chief Justice John Roberts decide on witnesses.

Unconstitutional. The Chief Justice presides, but the Senate writes its rules (as does the House), as the USC specifically stipulates. Not that a Dem cares when the USC blocks his or her "I want".

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The dummy with a degree in Philosophy needs to go back to reading, as he certainly did not read well enough to understand the Constitution he swore an oath to defend.
