If the vote for witnesses is a tie it fails. Roberts is unlikely to break the tie. yellowcanine Jan 2020 #3

Even if they do, will drumpf pigeonhole Roberts to stop Bolton & only allow Hunter? lark Jan 2020 #2

maybe 51-49?

I keep wondering why everyone keeps saying that Dems need 4 Republicans, maybe I'm stupid? Wouldn't chief justice Roberts break a 50-50 tie? How do we know how Roberts will vote? If it's Pence who breaks the tie then I understand.

Thats the real plan, they hide everything and spread Russia lies placed on Burisma's system 2 weeks ago to disqualify the one man who they are afraid of. Bet me that Roberts isn't totally supportive of this rw chicanery.
