Senators of both parties are already getting antsy over President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, and on only the second day in session, Republicans and Democrats alike left their seats, walked around, grabbed their phones, and, generally, broke the strict rules governing their behavior as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) droned on, presenting his own opening arguments in the House’s case against the president.
Left-leaning media outlets quickly noted that several GOP Senators left their seats during Schiff’s speech, suggesting, it seems, that Republicans charged with being “impartial jurors” — as Democrats have repeatedly put it — were ignoring the Democrats’ initial salvos but, it turns out, sitting still for eight hour sessions with little to do except drink water or milk (or, in Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY case, do a paper crossword puzzle with a pencil), is tough for elected leaders.
