Buckle up: What to watch as impeachment trial takes off

U.S. President Donald Trump waves as he leaves the White House, Monday, Jan. 20, 2020, in Washington to attend the annual economic forum in Davos, Switzerland. WASHINGTON -- Senators like to float above messy politics in what's known by some as the dignified "upper chamber," home of Congress' cooler heads and lofty rhetoric.

As for phones, it's worse than airplane mode: They are banned from the chamber. That maroons 100 chatty senators -- including four Democrats in the heat of a nomination fight -- for the serious constitutional business of the impeachment trial, for hours at a time. Senators did that at various points during the Clinton trial. McConnell then argued that members of the chamber listen to each other better in private.After the four days of opening arguments -- maximum 24 hours per side -- senators will be allowed up to 16 hours for questions to the prosecution and defence, followed by four hours of debate. Only then will there be votes on calling other witnesses.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., has worked on three impeachment inquiries, starting with the one that helped persuade President Richard Nixon to resign. Rep. Val Demings of Florida is not a lawyer, but she is a former police chief and a member of both committees deeply familiar with the case against Trump. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is a lawyer and chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, so he's close to Pelosi's ranks.

I'll decide what to watch ... I dont need teleprompter reading, fake news writing coconspirators, doing my thinking for me thanks.

Watch the Russian Red Army Choir sing 'Sweet Home Alabama'!

Why watch when we all know the outcome? It’s not a fair trial it’s a cover up so many more important things to do

The whole thing is stupid.

Who cares. Nothing will come of this.
