The problem isn't partisanship. It is a complete lack of transparency......


and a denial of evidence.

Yes, the Senate "jury" is partisan but the American people are the ultimate jury. They (we) cannot render a verdict with documentary evidence being withheld, and fact witnesses under a gag order, and with even most of the proceedings hidden from the view of the people.

Polling shows that the vast majority (70 vs 30) of people want a fair trial, including witnesses and evidence. This ain't that.

In the old Soviet Union, they called these kind of proceedings a show trial. Change the name of the majority party in this situation from Republican to Democrat and you would be objecting too.
