If our colleagues decide that they want to extend a trial for some determining votes to two weeks or three weeks, that is okay, ... But I think the critical turning point is do you start to go to witnesses? Which mean everyone will want to cross examine, call more witnesses. This could not only go on for months, making it hard for us to do our work this year, but it probably will descend into the kind of partisan division that we saw in the House impeachment proceedings.
