Senate trial resumes today at 1 pm et. First order of business is 4 hrs of debate by Hse mgrs/Trump counsels. Then evening vote on witnesses. Senate expected to block witnesses. Could then go to final deliberations or vote on verdicts

6:21 AM · Jan 31, 2020

Things can be a bit of a wild card once you get past the gateway vote if the Senate has voted against witnesses. We have not had deliberations by senators yet. And McConnell/Schumer could file motions, convene closed sessions or give senators time to debate on the floor.

7:10 AM · Jan 31, 2020

When asked when the trial might end, one source replied “when everyone is exhausted.”

So..if senators demand more debate or if there are other motions after the failed gateway vote…This could drag on tonight or beyond - depending on what senators want to do.

1) Multiple sources tell Fox scenarios are now emerging which could extend the Senate trial into next week - perhaps though the Iowa Caucuses and State of the Union.

“The Senate can only move as fast as its slowest member,” said one source.

2) The latest permutation to stretch out the trial only began to emerge after last night’s developments that the Senate appears to lack votes for witnesses. But once that gateway vote is quashed, anything can happen.

3) The Senate is a body of equals. It protects the right of the minority. Fox is told that Democrats could push for extended closing debate by the managers and counsels for both sides..and then debate by senators.

4) Interest to stretch out the trial may be driven by an appetite to boost Joe Biden in Iowa. Some of it may be to not give the President an acquittal just before State of the Union. Some of it may just be that the Senate needs to give its members more say and debate.

5) Fox is told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wants to engineer votes to pin down GOP senators on a host of issues. That could stretch out the trial.

They don’t call this “the world’s greatest deliberative body” for nothing.

7:43 AM · Jan 31, 2020

6) The elongated trial scenario just emerged overnight because no one knew where things would go on the gateway/witness vote.

And, even though there is a push to wrap this up sooner rather than later by many in the Senate, it will come down to whether or not they have the votes

Uh, because the impeachment is unconstitutional and your job is to uphold the Constitution? That’s a good reason.

FLASHBACK TO HIS SPEECH IN 2016

Remarks by President Obama in Address to the People of Europe

2016-04-25

Hannove Messe Fairgrounds

Hannover, Germany

" And all these persistent challenges have led some to question whether European integration can long endure; whether you might be better off separating off, redrawing some of the barriers and the laws between nations that existed in the 20th century."

"If a unified, peaceful, liberal, pluralistic, free-market Europe begins to doubt itself, begins to question the progress thats been made over the last several decades, then we cant expect the progress that is just now taking hold in many places around the world will continue."

"So Ive come here today, to the heart of Europe, to say that the United States, and the entire world, needs a strong and prosperous and democratic and united Europe. "

"Perhaps you need an outsider, somebody who is not European, to remind you of the magnitude of what you have achieved."

" European unity was a dream of a few. It became a hope for [the] many. Today it is a necessity for all of us."

"But your accomplishment – more than 500 million people speaking 24 languages in 28 countries, 19 with a common currency, in one European Union – remains one of the greatest political and economic achievements of modern times. "

And today, more than ever, a strong, united Europe remains, as Adenauer said, a necessity for all of us. Its a necessity for the United States, because Europes security and prosperity is inherently indivisible from our own."

"But I want to say this to young people who value their privacy and spend a lot of time on their phones…We care about Europeans privacy, not just Americans privacy."

"As you go forward, you can be confident that your greatest ally and friend, the United States of America, stands with you, shoulder-to-shoulder, now and forever. Because a united Europe – once the dream of a few – remains the hope of the many and a necessity for us all. "
