"SNIP.....

“Senate Republicans are discussing speeding up the pace of President Trump’s impeachment trial by using the trial rules to limit the number of days each side has to make opening arguments,” The Hill reports.

“Republicans, according to senators, are discussing giving both Trump’s legal team and House managers 24 hours to present their case, similar to the 1999 proceeding. But unlike the Clinton trial, each side would have to use their time within two days.”

They will take 2 hours for lunch, 2 for dinner, and a number of shorter breaks for reasons.

And of course, only trumps lawyers will get camera time. They will argue the house already presented evidence to the nation and it isn't needed.

No republicans will be present to hear it.
