They should just start shooting MAGA gear with a t-shirt launcher into the Senate gallery. They're not even trying. They got dressed and showed up. That's it. Oh, and apparently some intern stayed awake all night to produce their visual aids.

Was "Get in their face" brought up yet?
Oh, yeah. That was early. It'll come up again. They have about 30 minutes of clips of Democrats talking about things in different places that they put on a loop for three or four hours.
The First Amendment does not apply.
Obviously, but it's at least related to the trial. Nothing before that had anything to do with the impeachment.

For that you should be ashamed, not smug. Your democracy is fucked- and you're a Banana RepubliQan .

The President cannot say to a General, Iran should be bombed, and then claim he did not really mean it--after they bombed Iran.
He cannot use the First Amendment as an excuse to violate his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
You know, considering what this trial is about -- an assault on the US Capitol -- one would think that the former president and his lawyers would have the decency to honor the incident and the building and the institution with a cogent and relevant counterargument. This is a flippant disgrace.
Not all speech is protected by the First Amendment.

Think of the absurdity. If a mafia boss tells his thug to murder someone, he can claim it was just free speech.
Terry Moran just said this is the Olympics of whataboutism.
More importantly, everyone who goes within 100 yards of Trump eventually becomes a smoldering crater. These lawyers should know better. Even if they are $60 an hour ambulance chasers.

Philly lawyer Michael van der Veen opens Trump impeachment defense, as Bruce Castor’s
Donald Trump’s team of Philadelphia defense lawyers stepped to the fore at the former president’s Senate impeachment trial Friday and attempted to cast the proceedings so far as “completely divorced from the facts, the evidence, and the interests of the American people.”
Notably, the biggest name among them — former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. — was expected to have a diminished role.
Tensions among Trump, his political advisers and his defense attorneys — which also include area lawyers Michael T. van der Veen, William J. Brennan, and Julianne Batemen — have been fraught since Castor’s meandering, widely-panned opening address to the Senate on Tuesday.
It was van der Veen — Castor’s law partner — who opened Friday’s presentation with a more-focused and assertive speech invoking culture-war invective and dismissing the impeachment effort as “Constitutional cancel culture.”
