Not a new experience, but I am confused.

Lindsey has loudly threatened to call THEIR witnesses if the Democrats call a single one and that the trial will then take "months".

I thought it was up to the Democratic team to present their case with any evidence which reasonably sheds light on Trump's "guilt or innocence". And I understand that Trump's counsel will be able to cross-examine the witnesses and ,I assume, present their own witnesses about the issues to be decided.

But, does Lindsey---or any other senator---have standing to call THEIR chosen witnesses?

Are we going to retry all of the 60-odd election fraud actions which Trump lost?

Will we hear testimony from Hunter? Barack? Hillary?

Will their be some limit to the poo-flinging?
