<< Robert - who are you using as an authority to imply a senate trial would consume years >>

Did I say years? Or, OTOH, did I say, up to two years?

<< (it was only a few weeks, then a few months, and now you have stretched it to years)? >>

Is this a truthful statement on your part? Would you swear to it under oath? <g>

<< Yet another one of those "throw out the irrational slop" and see if you can adjust popular opinion posts, eh? >>

We will soon see how irrational my "up to two years" prediction is.

<< Most of the Senate is ready to put this thing to bed within days, not weeks. >>

If the Senate is willing to take a vote immediately without any due process, then it will be over quickly. But, I doubt if that will be the case. As soon as they open up the trial with witnesses, cross examination, litigation, delays and constitutional challenges, it could drag on for a long time.
