You clearly claimed that Roberts has hinted an aversion to calling witnesses. I can't find that evidenced anywhere in the article you posted, just opinions.Halifax2TheMax said:
I'm viewing this as Moscow Mitchy Baby bitch slaps his repub colleagues to deny witnesses, dems appeal to Roberts during trial and Roberts says, "sorry, I don't make the rules," despite seemingly having the ability to say, "yes, I'll allow witnesses as they're germane to the dems' case, the Team Trump Treason Administration stonewalled and the Clinton impeachment investigation had witnesses and dispositions and documents. If Roberts is a rubber stamp and the dems are forced to litigate via the time consuming courts process, then Team trump Treason is above the law and you can't remove a president. If that's the case, putin on the ritz wins. If it was a "perfect" phone call, why wouldn't Team trump Treason allow for witnesses that exonerate him?mickeyrat said:

“It will mean that either Justice Roberts or the Supreme Court itself is not really a conservative justice or court, merely a partisan one,” Schiff said.
However, it’s not even clear that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have enough Republican votes to deny Democratic demands for witnesses. He would need a simple majority to do so, but there may be enough Republican senators who decide to support a motion for some witnesses. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., on Monday told CNN he is open to calling witnesses.
The question then would be, which witnesses? Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has requested four witnesses who were blocked by the White House from testifying to House investigators: Mick Mulvaney, acting White House chief of staff; John Bolton, former national security adviser; Michael Duffey, Office of Management and Budget associate director for national security; and Robert Blair, senior adviser to the acting White House chief of staff.

So you take back your statement that Roberts has hinted an aversion to calling witnesses? There's enough hearsay around here to spread myths based on opinion pieces.Halifax2TheMax said:

yeah i keep writing that it is 2019 still.
Here's a version of what I saw as a headline:
https://news.yahoo.com/chief-justice-roberts-wont-compel-witnesses-to-testify-at-trump-impeachment-trial-legal-expert-says-100045457.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMM7egEYF5aPLpdw5we1TxfCRlJemD7N5Q8Bf0EGyvX1noXjIHChdve4ZWsWZBvwO-vAIflnKJsoVZEb7kKGqtIT6_hs0epbvQPrmuoQYeoIA4S6xpQlfkDgrbhda9Tn2kUNBWUAYzES9yAkWChcode8TLymvej2EhXl0BKtGvBqIf Democrats press the point that Roberts is able to rule on allowing witnesses but is declining to do so, they could follow the lead of Schiff, who in the November CNN interview indicated that such a decision by the chief justice would amount to a partisan act.
“It will mean that either Justice Roberts or the Supreme Court itself is not really a conservative justice or court, merely a partisan one,” Schiff said.
However, it’s not even clear that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have enough Republican votes to deny Democratic demands for witnesses. He would need a simple majority to do so, but there may be enough Republican senators who decide to support a motion for some witnesses. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., on Monday told CNN he is open to calling witnesses.
The question then would be, which witnesses? Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has requested four witnesses who were blocked by the White House from testifying to House investigators: Mick Mulvaney, acting White House chief of staff; John Bolton, former national security adviser; Michael Duffey, Office of Management and Budget associate director for national security; and Robert Blair, senior adviser to the acting White House chief of staff.

But that's not his role in the trial. Anything voted in by a majority is the rule of the trial. Roberts has no power over those rules. He should not be ruling on any issue unless there is a question as to whether it runs afoul of the rules of the trial, voted on by the Senate. In fact, the Parliamentarian probably has more power in this trial than Roberts. That person will determine whether motions, actions, etc. are in line with Senate history and parliamentary rules.mickeyrat said:
except he very well could rule in favor on any issue raised. only to be voted down or overruled by simple majority.Halifax2TheMax said:
I'm viewing this as Moscow Mitchy Baby bitch slaps his repub colleagues to deny witnesses, dems appeal to Roberts during trial and Roberts says, "sorry, I don't make the rules," despite seemingly having the ability to say, "yes, I'll allow witnesses as they're germane to the dems' case, the Team Trump Treason Administration stonewalled and the Clinton impeachment investigation had witnesses and dispositions and documents. If Roberts is a rubber stamp and the dems are forced to litigate via the time consuming courts process, then Team trump Treason is above the law and you can't remove a president. If that's the case, putin on the ritz wins. If it was a "perfect" phone call, why wouldn't Team trump Treason allow for witnesses that exonerate him?mickeyrat said:

And I’m hearing Roberts is adverse to calling witnesses. The fix continues to be in and Putin on the ritz wins.mickeyrat said:
Chief Justice fills that role in presiding over the trial.The Juggler said:
I have read that is correct. Something about him not being able to break the tie for his own boss or something?mrussel1 said:
Im not sure that Pence is a tiebreaker for procedural votes. I think they need 51. Be curious if someone knows for sure.gimmesometruth27 said:
yeah he wants to be landlocked for sure.The Juggler said:
4. I bet he knows there are the votes so he's not out on an island by himself.gimmesometruth27 said:
one defection. how many more do they need? 3? 4 total?The Juggler said:Mitt confirms again he will vote to hear from Bolton
And, yeah it is January already isn't it?!

So strange. The best description of all this stuff I've heard is that Trump and Giuliani thought they could treat the Ukrainian President like he was the Brooklyn Land Commissioner.Gern Blansten said:0
