"Mitch McConnell reportedly is considering a motion to dismiss. According to this report, he hinted that the Senate will move to dismiss the articles of impeachment after opening argument."
The Democrats introduced a motion to dismiss in The Clinton Impeachment as well.https://www.foxnews.com/media/ken-starr-impeachment-trump-pelosi
I though the Senate was obligated to conduct an impeachment trial if the House passed Articles of Impeachment.
Wrong.
The Senate, upon perceiving a total lack of evidence of impeachable offenses, can vote for a Motion to Dismiss and not conduct any Senate trial whatsoever.
Apparently you cannot just send a nothing-burger up to the Senate and expect action. It might just be shit canned immediately, the very definition of Dead on Arrival.
Clever Founders. They seem to have anticipated a rogue House of Representatives and put protections in place.

Very accurate posting.And Chucky voted for it.
Chucky also voted against having witnesses in the Clinton trial.
But we have the new and improved Chucky 2.0 now I guess.
McConnell shut Cryin' Chuck down pretty effectively and will not allow the Senate to do the work of the House. There will be opening arguments but then probably a straight up of down vote immediately thereafter. The whole thing is just a libel attempt and so the leftists want to stretch it out but apparently that will not be allowed.And Chucky voted for it.

Overall though, I am glad that the Idiot Dems showed who they are. We've always known this, but the rest of the country is able to see and can't ignore it now. ---Colossal screw up----McConnell shut Cryin' Chuck down pretty effectively and will not allow the Senate to do the work of the House.

Yeh, give or take a little timewise.
The republicans want to probably let em ramble on a bit because they know that the dems are already poised to say in the general election that the pubs would not even hear the case. So, I suspect they will give them a little rope sufficient to be able to say that every senate member got to speak and have their say or something like that. Then BOOM!.
It's about creating and not creating general election narratives at this point.
Let the dems have their little fun for a bit. After that, the anxiety about what a bunch of losers they have for candidates will start to bite them very hard.
