Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) tells CNN's Michael Smerconish that the rules of the Senate should be modernized so the trial includes witness testimony like in a normal court.

@Cynthia Baxter AĀ time is coming whenĀ men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, “You are mad; you are not like us.” – Saint Anthony
@Al Shabob What does Russia have to do with Mitch McConnell bleeding Kentucky dry? Again you really sound foolish I will no longer be responding. You are throwing out dumb conspiracy theories.
@Cynthia Baxter I may have misunderstood you.
Trying to rationalize why the Article of impeachment failed has no bearing on what happened. Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate told everybody at the onset that no matter what was presented:
“There’s “zero chance” that Trump will be removed from office; I’m not an impartial juror.”

Dave Greene have a nice evening my friend.
@Carolyn Deas The “repugs” WERE part of the corupt DC swamp you so love. He pressed through the sewer and has accomplished more than all the Presidents you think are going to suckle you and change your diaper. Speaking of swamp things, the DNC is screwing your mommy Sanders again.
Gary Santos McConnell said thereād be no difference between his approach & the White Houseās. Leningrad Lindsey was author of the ānot an impartial jurorā quote. What a pair, huh?
Or just follow them maybe ?
Like having a Chief Justice that insures that Senators actually keep up to their Oath ?

Back in the good old days , horse thieves were put to death . I miss the good old days . Just think, we could go full Sharia, chopping off the offending part . that could slow the incarceration to near zero quickly .
You should move to where the people are FREE then you could be happy !!! Iran is looking for some “good” people , they don’t believe in to much incarceration .

Republicans lost every elections since Trump.
The people are tired of the constant childishness and stupidity.
Your victory was Pyrrhic.
Hope, you didnāt openly support Trump, for his supporters are in for a life of outcasts.
a joke across the board with this administration and their co-conspirators
Wow, at least you know the head on a pike rumor is true.ššššš
Trump has been “uniting the GOP” since he got into office . . . The same way Kim Jon Un has “united” the North Korean people. Out of fear of being tweeted to death.
@Grist Mill You’re right it only goes down hill from here.
HOW BOUT JUST

@Who Would Know Weed indeed is what the people need.
@Billy Anderson i agree with everything you say, including that he used the oldest trick in the art of war, but the oldest trick isn’t divide and conquer, it’s deception. war is deception, and the art of war is the art of deception. trump is conducting warfare against the united states people with his attacks on media and basic truth itself.
puff, puff, pass!

@white liberals RD roots of all evil republicans new 2020 slogan….’we are the best at coverups…just ask pervert jim jordon and ohio state college”
and , we republicans in the senate agree trump was using u.s. aid to blackmail another country to help him get re-elected, thats why we don’t need witnesses in our coverup fake trial, but rigging a election in favor of republicans isn’t impeachable.
you trump cult members don’t understand cause you don’t have the intelligence, but you are screwed in 2020. Republicans showed a majority of americans just how far they will go to cover up for trump. Coverup fake trials in front of the entire world tend not to be good for political campaigns….neither does an trump economy with a lower growth (gdp) then obamas last 3 years….lower job creation then obamas last three years…lower stock % increases compared to obama when he became president by far……..even jimmy carter had higher gdp growth while president. Trump economy is beating all the others with record year defecits (over 1 trillion a year in the hole) and record government spending.. Trump===just another spend and debt republican riding on the economy that obama helped fix from the last republican administration that screwed it all up.
@Jeff lol yeah after this process was a fair investigation in the House of representatives, right? Oh wait it wasn’t Republicans and Trump team didn’t get a chance to make their case in the impeachment process, since it was emergency to remove Trump from office, but Christmas…LOL then Nancy Pelosi sits on the articles of impeachment, for 4 weeks, then you hypocrites cry “fair trial” in the U.S. Senate? LOL your arguments are laughable at best, and the American people know it.š¤£š
China has Fallen,Russia,Syria,andIranAre, as America and Israel are surfacing from the deep. #getOnBoard!
Great point and I call them the Russian Republican Senate of America sad sad sad
Modernize, improve, perfect, etc, etc, etc.
Give us a break!
Any so-called āchangeā decided by and for politicians is still a big joke.
I guess 1776 is a little old for rules that enable the sort of corruption we are witnessing of late.
@Crystal Giddens So?? Wow I cant wait to see what happens next. The US Government is a joke. Actually there is no Gov. Everyone quit or was fired. Did you hear that Chump is never leaving? He will be President opps I mean Dictator for the rest of his life. Your medical system is killing people and it won’t get any better. I didn’t realize just how pathetic the Chump supporters are. And stupid.
@Carolyn Deas oh, really?
@Crystal Giddens haha yes really. It’s a shame that other countries can see what’s right in front of you. Did you know Chump wants to charge countries for the use of your military?? Shameful.
@Carolyn Deas well, if they “use” our military shouldn’t they pay for it?
A man who can barely read was put into office. Would not have happened in 1776. I’m laughing at the thought if Trump had tried to make his way in during the writing of the Constitution. ” I love the constitution. I think we should bring back the constitution” The guy in the WH is so damn dumb.
The voters will remember in November.
It depends on which voters you’re referring to. If you’re referring to the Twitterati they literally only remember the current trending topic of the week. They don’t actually care about any of this and are only temporarily enraged by inaccurate “meme’s.” hopefully there’s a 60 second clip that can sum up all the things that make them mad come November.
@pfpublius considering that forty percent plus of Trump rally attendee’s are Democrats who have walked away from the Democrat Party, I doubt what you are saying is going to happen.
Good Luck with That āļøš
@Raheem Robinson you are not impartial you are a brain washed parrot for the Mockingbird Media Programming Machine āļø
Everything you quoted was a Mockingbird Media Narrative.
That’s not impartial, that’s ignorant š
@Mark Delany oh look it’s a fully delusional brain washed parrot for the Mockingbird Media āļøš
@fred head yes land slide… watching tRump falling in the sewer….. most useless president ever.
Can we as US Citizens use this “trial” as an example if we are being charged with a crime.
We as US Citizens can ask to block all evidence and witnesses.
We as US Citizens can have the judge tell us we are innocent before we walk into the court room.
As long as we say we are innocent- we are innocent.
@IzThat it [youtube-bot] flagged as spam.
googl android Iz That it is cleated not spam. What is your problem. Sounds to me like he is making a good point. If this threat is too intellectually taxing go watch cat videos.
@Red894336643 [youtube-bot] flagged as harassment.
You are mistaken on every point. Is it because you are being mislead by the controlled media like CNN, or is it because you need to do more homework as a US citizen?
Its always about Greed and Money.. The United States is circling the drain..
Because all they worship is money, celebrity and power.
@larry 306 “The United States is circling the drain..” It was until Trump put the plug in the drain. He then began to drain the swamp instead.
The only part of this country that is circling the drain are the people who can’t grow up and hold on to these liberal extremist borderline communist fantasies. We live in a capitalist country that pushed all of society forward. You’re mad about things you clearly don’t understand.
@Flavius Stilicho why do you care about him placing two periods at the end of his sentence, did it hurt your feelings?
@Phatkillz hard to agree with you when all you do is lie, there were 18 witnesses, and documents.
You should be asking why Schiff is hiding the 18th witness.
Does his testimony expose Schiff’s and the Whistle Blowers lies?
Would seem that way, why else would Schiff be hiding his Testimony from the Public š
Everything is corrupt. Thereās no hope as long as American governmental institutions favor the interests of the Corporations, banks, Israelis and Saudis on the back of US taxpayer.
snoop alert thatās why heās leading in all the polls.
So apparently the majority want him.
The democrates have been robbing the American people for decades.
Michael Martinez by robbing you mean taxing the rich, so more people can receive life saving benefits. Your right.

Where were you when Obama gave Iran $150 billion. You are a moron.
@Olayemi Ayoola Obama didn’t give Iran $150 billion of taxpayer money, you fucking imbecile. That was a court settlement that Iran won, genius. It was their money in the first place, not ours. We stole it and international court said we had to pay it back.
I lost a bunch of Facebook friends from childhood over Trump’s BS. But I am better off not having them on it.
“Go Army”.
@robert hicks Yeah you being able to get medical treatment in your old age without without bankrupting your children is a sin jesus was never about helping the sick.
@robert hicks Yeah the country you are born is alters your DNA completely. Totally explains why you have only 41 chromosomes.
After all when your God made man he divided them into races like Irish, British, Scottish, Welsh, Canadian, American, Spartan and Greek!
@Dave Waldon you and your friends should not worry. There is no one running as a socialist. Democratic Socialism is not the same as socialism. Of my peers I don’t think that anyone is looking to expand government but we would like to take it back from the big donors who then need favors, or further tax cuts. They are running out government. That has to stop. We also want the major companies to pay taxes. Not only do they not pay taxes at times we GIVE them money! No more corporate welfare.
@Olayemi Ayoola shut up. go away.
“Facebook Friends” from “Childhood.”
That conjunction of terms is very said and shows someone who is out of touch with reality. Go out, outside of your bubble and meet normal people in everyday life so you can really be disappointed.
And no, lonely doesn’t mean “Nobody likes you.” It actually means sadness from being solitary. It has nothing to do with how other people feel about you. You can’t just make up meanings for words. Please, as someone who cares about other living beings, go outside and experience a normal life. You’re bordering on delusion.
This is the death of USA reputation.
Jivko Dimitrov
WANIE WAA WAA!
NO GOOD WON AND U HATERS ARE THE WORSE!
The U.S.’s reputation died when Trump “won” in the 2016 “election” – as Putin’s selection. No, it’s the end of the United States of America. RIP, thanks to the GOP traitors.
patty7beth you expect anyone to take you seriously when you use Putin in your comments?
VOTE BLUE 2020. RESTORE OUR REPUTATION
When did getting caught cheating an election become NOT impeachable? Wtf is this guy saying.
@Riley Adkins
Nixon was railroaded by the communists in U.S. government because he was discovering what they were about and cIose to exposing them.
@Censored Account well its hard to argue with that
4 years nearly, 1 of the 4 Trump was just a canadidate, and the demons wanted to impeach, Why? did they spend all our resources on trying to stop this guy/POTUS from bringing America (our Country) back from being decieved, exploited, and played. If anything, We! All The People!, should be on board in making and keeping our Country (the UnitedStates of America) the Greatest one on the face of this Earth.
My question is, “How do you not see that your party has fallen to evil and Satanic Principles that are eroding Our idenity before the faces of Our World?” Ignorance is indeed bliss…
Hillary cheated! Oh but she can’t be impeached , just jailed . š
He hasn’t built a wall, not one that stays up.
Hillary is not locked up (she was innocent)
Health care is a very complex issue that only he can fix in his second term.
Yeah, he’s a very stable genius.
Modernized, and standardized, so senators canāt make up the rules, as they go along, to favor their own party outcome.
No amount of rules will make a traitor not betray you…
It’s this mentality (modernize) that has gotten us to the here and now ! There is nothing worse than
lawyer/politician changing the wordage on anything, FUBAR comes to mind.
āLetās modernize our governmentā
*With pay-to-play China*
China own Democrat traitors.
I have some new rules for congress: Age/term limits, life ban from lobbying, must use medicare, must take an I.Q. test, lying is a felony, anyone in congress shall be immediately removed from office for violating their oath to protect the constitution.
D Max That would eliminate the top two Democrats candidates
Good rulesāALL
REAL rules. Well said!!!
Great point but is the Russian Republican Senate of America hailed by that same standard ?
It was a trial without witnesses, that wasn’t a trial at all. It was a comedy show.
Just wish the Joke wasn’t on americas democracy
there were 18 witnesses in the House hearings and their testimony was presented in the Senate. The House holds the trial, the senate is the jury. There were no new witnesses in the senate during the Clinton impeachment either.
