The impeachment trial gets underway today. McConnell has proposed ground rules:
48-hours of opening arguments, 24 for the prosecution, 24 for the defense over four 12-hour days; 16-hours of questioning from Senators; 4-hours of closing arguments; finally, they will take up debate about whether or not to allow for new witnesses followed by a vote. If new witnesses are allowed then each will be deposed before testifying.

There's also talk of what's being called a "kill switch" in the rules, that if the Democrats pull any stunts, the defense will have the option to move for immediate dismissal which should serve to eliminate any of the, let's call them "procedural irregularities" we saw in the House.
