Who set up the 1 pm start time for the impeachment trial?

Not a biggie as I watch from work but omg the speculation from the news media for five hours ugh

1. I believe Justice Roberts has to hear a case in the morning...

from MSNBC earlier.

2. I agree

We don't need hours of speculation and guessing. Getting work done on the am though. Cable needs to reassess their programming.

3. It has to do with the schedule of SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts

... and I think Moscow Mitch has known about it and has used it to his advantage. If the trial runs for 12 or 13 hours per day, and it doesn't begin until 1 o'clock in the afternoon guess what that means? The significant events and votes will be happening outside of the primetime network news window. That gives the GOP lots of spin time, every day the trial continues.

4. Most Senators don't get out of bed until after 11:00am.
