They KNEW that. It was the whole religious observance thing, then he flipped on it, making this whole thing a seven day a week occurrence.
Ilhan Omar to introduce articles of impeachment

Surely it's ok for Trump's lawyers to show up on a Sunday as long as they just rest and don't do any work?

Supposedly even showing up is supposed to be a no no.

One has to wonder if they thought this through, every witness called will have to have a majority vote. No way Dems are going to approve of frivolously calling people from their own party for political points and the Republicans who are siding with Dems won't join in unless they're relevant to the case.
They're backs are against the wall here, Trump's legal team are in over their heads and even though they'll still likely never convict this will be center stage in the court of public opinion. It can only serve to hurt their party but they asked for it.

Sometimes I am stunned out how meta real life can be.
If they need cameras, I'm sure the sex store next door can help out.

This is probably why the Democratic Party caved on witnesses.
Because if Trumps people left who was he going to get instead? A public defender?
And McConnell could have (quite reasonably) asked for an adjournment. Letting impeachment run on and on will not be popular.
Strictly they wanted 1 witness and they got a statement from them entered onto the record.

If you take this and the above then the trial could easily have gone on another month. 2 week adjournment with no business for Trump to get new lawyers and then 2 weeks for witnesses.
And if the Dems refused an adjournment then the republicans could vote down impeachment because Trump didn’t get a fair trial which is a much, much more reasonable argument than whatever bullshit excuse they will use now.
EDIT: Given how much barrel scraping Trump has with his lawyers there could be multiple adjournments.

This country is experiencing a Constitutional Crisis. We in our wisdom have filled half of the Congress with people who have ZERO interest in honoring the Constitution, the rule of law, tradions and standards of integrity. I got shudders of fear listening to the blatant lies being told at the Stop the Steal rallies. We've got a whole army of mini-Trumps now trying to subvert every value we claim to hold dear for perceived self advantage... power over the sheep, the Kool Aid drunk sheep.
What we have now is living in the age of the Cult of Trump, corruption up to our necks. It's now a game of stump the dummies, while allowing the Kool-aid drinkers to pretend they are patriotic, that they believe in "the American way" while blatantly subverting the Constitution, and using rationalization and lies to keep themselves content and fooled about what they have actually allowed to happen, the ongoing attempts to corrupt our democratic processes. And it's not over yet, not by a long shot.
Thankfully I don't believe that most of us are anywhere close to wanting a civil war. Therefore I have hope. It was evident that Trump's corrupt tentacles were clearly not long enough to proclaim himself emperor. We can hope that the majority become engaged in the political process that steers the Nation. This last election Georgia flipped for a Democrat President. We have a lot more work to do to make it into the sunlight and it's not assured by any means.
Now Team Trump Lawyers are starting their fool'd ya gyrations...
Are you fooled?

Asking ”Is this America?” and reminding Senators that their decision will be remembered by history... Could be either side making that argument. Scary.

And I think we should remember that we should be careful with the word acquittal.
Trump will not be found innocent in this trial. The two standard verdicts are guilty and not guilty. The latter doesn’t mean you are innocent. It means the prosecution couldn’t prove its case to the satisfaction of the judge or jury.
Not guilty can mean anything from You are innocent to You got away with it. Given this jury, it’ll definitely mean that he got away with it.

If Trump isn't found guilty, the GOP will make sure we never hear the end of it. Call it acquittal or not guilty (nothing against you @Thomas Veil), it means Trump, in some measure, got away with it. That's what chaps my hide.

It’s over. 57 guilty votes, 43 not guilty votes. That’s a lot of craven, ass-kissing Republicans.
Chuck Todd referred to this as a permission slip to use violence in the pursuit of political goals. That pretty much says it.
