After Trump's defense team wrapped up their arguments, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell laid out what will happen over the the next two days of the trial: 16 hours of questioning, eight hours for each side.

McConnell went on to describe the process saying "the questions alternate between the majority and minority sides for up to eight hours" on both Wednesday and Thursday.

McConnell reminded senators that their questions must be in writing and will be submitted to Chief Justice John Roberts.

Roberts added the attorneys must answer the questions in five minutes or less. He then adjourned the trial until 1 p.m. ET Wednesday.

the first day I watched.

The vote to allow witnesses will be 51-49, same difference.

Trial needs to be over before Super Bowl Sunday and the state of the union.

There's a bad moon rising folks.

I watched Nicolle lambaste Republicans then I made the mistake to start watching Toad. Other than a few shows on MSNBC, all of the cable news networks are pushing the Republican narrative.
