I didn’t think he’d come in and interfere, say, by calling for dismissal like giuliani was claiming on fox a couple weeks ago - I thought that was absurd. Decorum paddling, though? That just threw me about his role.

I must comment that the Van Hollen amendment at the end forcing the republicans to vote against affirming that the presiding officer, CJ, can make final vote on the question of calling witnesses is breathtaking next to Roberts’ interjection.
