The Senate begins questions in the impeachment trial on Wednesday and Thursday. These 16 hours of questions are expected to be answered in 5 minutes or less as per Chief Justice Roberts‘ instructions. By my calculations, this would allow possibly 192 questions toggled back and forth between the political parties. And, since there are 100 senators, this would allow at least one question per senator. This is a lot of political pontification ... but, I suspect, it can not and will not all be expended.
At most, I have predicted, only one day of queries, no witnesses (because the Dems won’t allow reciprocity) and this whole sordid affair to be concluded by Friday.
Not with a bang but with a whimper ...
