Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wasted no time on the first day back from the holiday break to attack Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democrats over the impeachment of President Donald Trump:
"We've heard it claimed that the same House Democrats who botched their own process should get to reach over here into the Senate and dictate our process," McConnell said from the Senate floor.

Joe Biden was clear twice on the record in the past month that he would refuse to obey a Senate subpoena to testify at Trump's impeachment trial. There was no lack of clarity in the questions or Biden's answer. As documented in my prior post, Biden said it in an NPR interview earlier this month and again to the Des Moines Register yesterday.

There is no indication that Mitch McConnell and his Republican majority in the Senate are going to let the impeachment trial turn into a wide-ranging free-for-all. Democrats desperately want to try to rescue their woefully inadequate impeachment case by locating evidence outside the record on which impeachment was based. At the same time, some Republicans wish for the day they can get Joe Biden, Adam Schiff and other Democrats on the witness stand.

I've noticed that many of the articles and opinion columns in the mainstream media about impeaching Trump include the idea that now he must bear the permanent mark of having been one of the few presidents in our history who have been impeached (see this as well as this, for example). In other words, they feel that impeachment causes Trump to wear a shameful and symbolic scarlet "I" for all time.

I was a guest this week on the Canto Talk show, with conservative pundit Silvio Canto, Jr. While the last show of the year is traditionally our Christmas show, we couldn't let the session go by without discussing the impeachment vote.
