It does so seem to me, we haven't been doing these impeachment trials correctly. Perhaps, we should let the chief justice fill the role judges normally have in courts all across America.
The Constitution says the chief justice shall preside over the Senate trial. "Order in the court. The honorable Chief Justice John Roberts is presiding." What does that mean? In courts all across America, when judges preside, what does it mean?
For quite some time, we have been hearing how Mitch McConnell might not allow witnesses. We have been wondering what the rules will be. Doesn't the judge in a trial make these decisions?
Perhaps we should reflect on what judges normally do in America, and allow Chief Justice Roberts to -- indeed -- preside over the trial. The senators are the jurors; They are not the judge.
