Do Senators in general have staff members who do the tweeting for them, because iirc phones aren't allowed on the floor.

Yes

Schumer Amendment No. 6 was tabled 53-47, and now debating the Schumer Amendment No. 7.

History of late night Senate sessions during the Trump Presidency:

1/19/18 (Democrats Dreamer Shutdown Saturday): Last vote at 10:14 PM
12/2/17 (H.R. 1 Senate Vote-o-rama): Last vote at 1:36 AM
10/19/17 (Budget Authorizing Consideration of H.R. 1): Last vote at 9:18 PM
7/28/17 (McCain stops ObamaCare Repeal): Last vote at 1:24 AM
1/11/17 (Budget Authorizing Consideration of ObamaCare Repeal): Last Vote at 1:05 AM

We've already blown past some of those....

Going back further:


4/14/15 (During the 2015 Budget Debate on Motions to Instruct Conferees): Last Vote at 9:12 PM
3/26/15 (During the 2015 Budget Debate): Last Vote at 3:19 AM
1/22/15 (During the Keystone Pipeline Debate): Last Vote at 11:33 PM

and what appears to be the record.....

Legislative Day of 12/12/13 (Nomination Vote-o-Rama following 2013 Nuclear Option): Last Vote at 12:29 PM on 12/13/13

So what happens if John Roberts falls asleep? Surely that will eventually happen if they go on long enough?

Also the guy has to attend regularly scheduled supreme court oral arguments at 10 AM Sharp.

Neither the House impeachment managers nor the White House counsel filed any motions before the 9 a.m. deadline on Wednesday morning, according to a Democratic aide. That means the House managers will start making their case when the trial comes into session at 1:00 p.m.

When Trump's team gets their 24 hours for their case, watch the GOP senators applaud every single sentence.

They get imprisoned if they say anything/don't sit in silence, under the rules. Or at least they are supposed to, if the rules are followed.

So I think you are confusing the GOP Senators with Trump - it is Trump, not them, who belongs in prison.
The GOP is the party of Trump though. And yes, I know it is illegal to not be quiet in the trial, but I still think there will at least be the urge for the GOP senators to cheer.

I thought the imprisonment was a maximum penalty and only applied to visitors in the gallery, and that it's just a general rule not specific to the trial. Does it actually apply to Senators making an outburst during the trial? Huh

Yeah it does, per the sergeant at arms. However, they'd probably start out with warning the Senator by having Roberts loudly bang a gavel and criticize them.

QUESTION BY: SUSAN COLLINS

QUESTION: Mr. Sekulow, if President Trump had more than one motive for his action, how should the senate consider more than one motive in its assessment of Article I?
