"The Chief Justice is there to basically be a traffic cop; he doesn't control the trial the way a judge does in court. He can rule on procedural issues, but whatever he says can be overridden by a simple majority vote, so he'll probably just defer those questions to the Senate. Technically, if there's a tie vote on a procedural issue, he can cast the tie-breaking vote."
Ties are decided by the President of the Senate -Mike Pence.
"There are no restrictions on discussing the trial with anyone, including the media, but the Senate is trying to make that as difficult as possible by restricting media access."
Could it just maybe be possible that the Senate is trying to avoid the three ring circus that the House put on? Those "hearings" were a joke. Nothing more than TV time for the lying, cheating lefties who just do not like Trump, and cannot accept the fact that Pillary lost. GET OVER IT, THE PEOPLE CHOSE TRUMP.
