Tomorrow’s impeachment session should begin with a warning to Senator Lee that he was in violation of the admonition to keep silence under Rule II, and that Senators will not be recognized for the purposes of making objections to evidence or testimony.

Lee claimed that he was making his objection pursuant to Rule XVI. Rule XVI makes no such allowance for objections from Senators sitting as jurors.

I was being kind. It SHOULD start with his imprisonment for violation of the very clear rule.
