Impeachments that have had a bipartisan tenor I would suspect would be far more tame in the Senate and require less of the presiding officer.  In this case, a partisan impeachment that was handled with no due process in the bowels of the House by a party who has been preaching impeachment of Trump since election day, and handled and investigated poorly by Schiff, Nadler and Pelosi requires, in my opinion, a much more engaged presiding officer who is willing to rule in ways no seen by Rehnquist et al previously.  Roberts can't be worried about the Senate's feelings or afraid to admonish those who deserve it.  It will be interesting to see if he steps up to the plate.
