Who needs witnesses or evidence at a trial? All that innocence would just slow down the proceedings. Best keep them under wraps. —Ben S.

As I understand the House is supposed to do all the investigating and bring all the evidence. The Senate is then sup posed to hold the trial. There is some blurring of boundaries here that might have repercussions down the road. We have consistently been told that there is enough evidence so why is there need for new evidence? The executive branch has privileges. If documents are needed there is a procedure to follow, which might result in a request going to the Supreme Court. We, the Democratic Party, failed to follow that through, which is why we want new witnesses and documents, but really the House should have gathered these. I am ashamed of both parties and the sham they are making of our laws and Constitution.
