as far as how you jeffrey were talking about whether the senators are fair jurers or to your point really more of a court, right? as a former chief justice rehnquist said. she said if a juror reveal as bias they will be disqualified. again, coming from supreme court justice here. a reminder. can you close this out, jeffrey that this is not normal times. no. this is not a normal court. in fact, i think one of the best things we could do, frankly, keep all lawyers away from this court and remind themselves all rules that normally apply in a courtroom don t have to apply here. the senate can do whatever it wants. the senate can rule however it wants on the rules and also the senate can overrule the presiding judge. in fact, in 1999, senator tom harkin from iowa made a real blustery point that they should stop referring to the senators as jurors. because a juror, he said, was only there to decide right or wrong and a juror was only
