CURL: Democrats Say Senate Must Act As ‘Jury’ During Impeachment Trials. It Doesn’t, Because It Isn’t.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recently took aim at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for saying he will not be an “impartial juror” during the impeachment trial of President Trump.

“Let the American people hear it loud and clear, the Republican leader said, proudly, ‘I’m not an impartial juror. I’m not impartial about this at all.’ That is an astonishing admission of partisanship,” Schumer said in a floor speech before the Senate left on a two-week vacation.
