Sen. Klobuchar: Why would GOP senators attend trial 'if they're not gonna protect the Constitution'

Sen. Klobuchar: Why would GOP senators attend impeachment trial 'if they're not gonna protect the Constitution'During a break in the Senate impeachment proceedings, Sen.

Amy Klobuchar expressed frustration at the continued opposition to witnesses from Republicans and Trump's defense. Of senators who appeared to be sleeping or looking away during proceedings, Klobuchar said, "I just don’t know why they would have this job and come here if they’re not gonna protect the Constitution."

The GOP Senators ONLY JOB, PROTECT THE CULT!

Why did they come? Because they had to and they have already made up their minds to exonerate the bastard! They don't want to listen. This is in no way a fair trial. It's a sham! Thank CoverUpMitch for this one.

The GOP is a joke

Just like the house watching golf during impeachment hearings. Should be fired

She's right. Liberals are trying to destroy the constitution or at least remake it to something that suits their goals.

Embarrassing!!!

That’s exactly why senatemajldr didn’t want tv cameras.

Like watching golf on a lap top?

We protect the Constitution by not having a trial with no criminal charges. That's basic common law.

This is exactly why Republicans must be decimated in Nov. They have zero business in Congress since they have no role to play in our system of checks and balances. They want a monarchy. Everyone else wants democracy. The choice is easy. Repubs must go in Nov.

What they haven’t figured out yet is, Dictators don’t need Senators. If they acquit Trump they soon will.

angel4autism Some people seek power just so they can be powerful, Amy.

During the house hearings Nadler literally fell asleep while talking and that wasn’t 12 hour hearings 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

A Republican Senator was caught giving an interview with Fox during the hearings. Clearly a violation of her oath.

JagbusAnne They are old men. That tends to happen.

brat2381 Because the GOP told its members this is a slam dunk and no one cares.

Grazing calves.

The rest of the world is watching the live broadcasting of the SenateRepublicans desperately trying to avoid the presentation of any evidence or witnesses in Trump's ImpeachmentTrial. It tells us that they have an explicit ConsciousnessOfGuilt... (1/2)

Because their oath to God means nothing. They don't care about the Constitution or the American people. Some only care about being re-elected and the rest care about holding on to the position they already have. They all love the power...will do anything to keep it.

They are not taking this seriously. They deserve to be voted out of office if that’s their fate in November!

I'll say this much, Klobuchar has been saying all the right things lately.

TmcuseoCuseo I don't blame em for falling asleep. This has been a marathon session but they KNEW it was going to be this way, should've brought some coffee or something to keep themselves awake.

Isn’t this a conflict of interest for klobuchar... yes, yes it is.

You mean like Nadler during the House proceedings?

This trial is a Republican Senate scam! The American people have a right to hear all requested witness and see all documents-communications. Trump wants impeachment witness to testify!!

When did Democrats start caring about the Constitution...

Can we start a pool on how many times the defense says unconstitutional in their next rebuttal? You can put me down for five. They don't have anything else. Terribly flatfooted and unprepared

I dunno -- good money, benefits, retirement plan, pipeline to a cushy corporate or law firm job if they ever lose an election...

“Ive seen some people look down at their shoes when strong cases are made about National Security, they look embarrassed...” But still- they vote NO and Some FELL asleep! Ugh😠

EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING GAMES .. The American people deserve to hear ALL of witnesses and ALL of the evidence .. no court would tolerate this.

Avg age of US Senators: 61.8. Not enough Geritol to go around.

After having to listen to pencil neck all day they should be thankful there was no suicides.

Well they will be sent packing. Soon enough.

Sen. Risch was asleep for the majority of Rep. Demings' presentation. When Jay Sekulow took the stand, speaking audibly louder, Risch was jolted awake.

Sen. Harris: Republicans are bogging down trial by handing out lies that must be correctedSen. Kamala Harris says that Republican senators and President Trump's defense team are strategically bogging down the proceedings by throwing out 'all these misleading statements, these lies' that Democrats then have their speaking time to correct before getting to arguments about the amendments and resolutions. NicolleDWallace The trail/ case is suppose to be ready when it gets to the senate. Not the senates fault the house has a sham impeachment.

‘Caught bluffing’: See Trump trial begin as GOP Sen. McConnell backs down on rulesIn this report on Day 1 of Pres. Trump’s impeachment trial, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber breaks down the key moments, the high stakes wrangling over the rules, and the top clips of both sides making their historic arguments on the Senate floor. Melber notes that for the first time today, a President who boycotted the entire house process made contact with the debate over his fitness for office, and Melber fact-checks some of the key claims. He also reports that the Democratic House Managers’ argument boiled down to some famous lines from the iconic courtroom film “A Few Good Men,” and whether everyone involved in the trial can “handle the truth.” (MSNBC Digital Exclusive.) AriMelber SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!! AriMelber Important moments? There were none. The GOP's goal was to make these hearings as mind-numbingly boring as possible. They succeeded. Rich white liberals acted like themselves, and Normal America yawned & tuned out. Nobody. Cares. See you in November.

Warren, Klobuchar get dual New York Times endorsementIn a surprise announcement that no one saw coming, the New York Times' Editorial Board endorsed two candidates for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. New York Times Deputy Editorial Page Editor Kathleen Kingsbury joins Chris Jansing to explain why the Times made this choice. Weighing in: former Assistant to President Obama Chris Lu and Republican Strategist Rick Tyler. Endorsement from a toilet paper. Nice. What else is new? The Establishment gotta Establish again & again, all the same. In the mean time, they miss a great opportunity. This is now, for the Republic to strengthen & thrive. Some Reps are great people to talk with (but for the Senate & I'm sad about it). United... Endorsing 2 ladies for just 1 spot. Yeah, well, it sounds like a fake endorsment to me.
