"No evidence, no witnesses," says Stephen Colbert in the clip above. "Just 100 old people stuck in a room together. This isn't a trial, it's the four o'clock dinner rush at Denny's."
Colbert goes on to break down all the main action from Tuesday — from one very shouty White House counsel to Rep. Adam Schiff's no-nonsense comebacks — before finishing as he started: with some more baffling rules (this time about what senators can drink during the trial, and where they can walk).
"Hear ye, hear ye," says Colbert. "Be it known, that the following areas of the Senate floor are lava."
