• This "trial" is not and will not be a trial!  Because a "TRIAL", is a process that involves a selection of impartial "jurors" empowered to hear evidence and testimony and to render their verdict, based on what they learn and find during the presentations by the opposing parties.  
• Calling this abomination that McConnell wants to present as a trial, is like calling a locomotive a donut.  A donut is not a locomotive and a group of people who are predisposed, not impartial, cannot be any part of a trial.  
• Thus, the only way for the Senate to hold a trial, is to force the recusal of any who are not impartial.  Such people may not render the verdict.  The Constitution gives the Senate great powers over how to ensure that a fair trial of the complaint is heard and they should avail themselves of it. 
• Since partisans cannot hold a trial, and every lawyer in Congress knows what a trial is, they know how to contrive to have a trial constituted and prosecuted. In short, you cannot simply label some conjob as a trial and expect the nation to accept it.
