Adam Schiff rebuked Republican senators for walking out of Donald Trump’s impeachment trial as the president’s Republican defenders mocked the Democrats for being boring.

‘I’m not sure the chief justice is fully aware of just how rare it is, how extraordinary it is for the House members to be able to command the attention of senators sitting silently for hours or even for minutes, for that matter. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the morning starts out every day with the sergeant-in-arms warning you that if you don’t, you will be in prison,’ Schiff said as he opened the second day of Democrats’ arguments in the case against Trump.

‘It’s our hope that when the trial concludes and you’ve heard us and you’ve heard the president’s counsel over a series of long days that you don’t choose imprisonment instead of anything further,’ Schiff added.

Several senators were spotted getting restless on Wednesday as Democrats used eight hours to begin their case against President Trump.

Senate rules require the lawmakers to sit in their seats quietly to listen to arguments but many got up at times to stretch their legs, stand at the back of the chamber, or to temporarily leave the chamber.

At times up to 20 empty seats were spotted in the chamber as Wednesday’s hearing went into the evening hours.

Republicans also have complained about the repetitive nature of the trial.

‘You want to take an aspirin to get away from the repetitive headache,’ said Congressman Mark Meadows, a staunch Trump ally, said of the trial.

Schiff addressed that on Thursday too, explaining why the arguments were being repeated.

‘I must ask you for some forbearance. Of necessity, there will be some repetition of information from yesterday’s chronology, and I want to explain the reason for it. You have now heard hundreds of hours of deposition and live testimony from the house condensed into an abbreviated narrative of the facts. We will now show you these facts and many others and how they are interwoven,’ the Democratic congressman said.
