so dems want at least *the chance* at a fair trial

They say the trial has to be fair, with senators acting as impartial jurors, and that Mr McConnell’s comments show he has no plans to do this. He earlier said Republican senators would act in “total co-ordination” with the president’s team.

hence the delay at least temporarily

we all know McConnell, one person, one senator of 100 singlehandedly is holding up *all* dem legislation.

now a mere 3 senator majority of 100 (the rs have 53) is controlling the entire Senate impeachment process

not the 2/3 vote. that is a different thing

the house at least has a respectable majority
