Blackburn appeared to break the rules of the Senate trial by giving an interview while her colleagues were in the chamber.

The rules governing the behavior of Senate jurors are strict. Though members are allowed to speak with the media during breaks between sessions, they are not allowed to bring any phones or electronic devices into the chamber. They are also only allowed reading material pertaining to the trial.on Twitter than breaking the rules is"punishable by imprisonment." Chief Justice John Roberts—who is overseeing the president's trial—could, in theory, punish Blackburn for the offense.

Democrats are keen to hear from key administration officials like former National Security Advisor John Bolton and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, but Republicans have resisted their demands and are seeking a quick acquittal of Trump.

Senators who break their oath of impartiality to the Trump impeachment trial face little consequenceDemocratic and Republican U.S. senators have been accused of partisanship over the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. You would have to put all 100 in jail. Everything in Washington is political, and not impartial. Probably will get smacked on the ass with a Time magazine that has Trump's face on it. And they will like it. Well, they have to live with the guilt on their consciences. (Hahaha just kidding. noconscience)
