Schumer Grants Trump Lawyer Request To Pause Impeachment Trial During Sabbath | Talking Points Memo

The longer the trial takes the more time investigators have to find documentary evidence of Trump treason. Take all the time you need, kids.

I had the same thought. Schumer is letting his religious views control. Stop the trial from Friday to Monday.

The time of sunset next Friday.

ETA - @luckie already answered the question. But now I’m wondering…maybe an impeachment Eruv can be erected around the Capitol building?

Copies of the video of trump speaking on the Ellipse ought to be sufficient evidence coupled with the various videos the rioters took themselves.

Personally I am getting tired of the way Federal judges are treating these traitors. I know they are all nice middle class people who flew to the insurrection, some in private jets, but what they did should be intolerable to any real American. There is no reason not to treat these people as the flight risks they are.

On that particular day in DC? So in the summer, for instance, does it move to a later time?

There are many interpretations among the Pastafari. In my own home there is often conflict about work and pasta. For I am a Pestofarian, and my wife abides to a somewhat inferior ideology: the Marinaraians. I believe the impeachment trial should be held, after appetizers, but before the main meal.

With respect to individual beliefs?
This seems no more than a figurative blindfold and cigarette.

You have to be home by sunset, and the candles need to be lit before that. The times for that are here.

I don’t really see this request as anything manipulative. I will assume this gentleman is making this request in good faith as a person observant of the Jewish faith and traditions. As such, he has requested a pause from sundown on Friday until Sunday, as befits his religious beliefs. But that doesn’t mean those who have other beliefs can’t request for a pause on Sunday as well, as they most likely will.

Indeed! What’s a trial without a nosh?

Perhaps after an aperitif, or two, to get the digestive juices flowing?

I have no idea why Trump’s lawyers aren’t conferring with Mike Lindell over their legal strategy. The guy’s a legal genius:

OT: This would be a big deal. And needless to say, these are real economists speaking, not the supply-side bunko artists.

Trump is a liar who is afraid to testify.

Why is it that $$$$$$$$$$$, corruption, paid slaves in the GOP, RWNJ “media”**, and a host of other enablers inhibit this simple truth to be widely disseminated, discussed and analyzed?
