Exactly.
At this point they should have already had a full case. Hell, they voted on it - but now saying they didn't even have enough information? They ignored the rules and took over the procedure. Ad now they want to continue in the senate, but are being denied their games.

Democrats Sealed Their Own Fate in Senate with Rushed House Impeachment
Election law expert and legal scholar Hans von Spakovsky said Wednesday that the Senate procedures for President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial differ from those of President Bill Clinton only by allowing the White House to raise evidentiary objections that it could not raise because of the way the House inquiry departed from precedent.
Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), claimed that the procedural resolution proposed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was flawed because it differed slightly from the Clinton impeachment procedures. They spent all day (and much of the night, into the early morning) proposing amendments.
Von Spakovsky, speaking to Breitbart News editor in chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily, pointed out that unlike the Clinton impeachment, Democrats in the House relied heavily on hearsay evidence and did not permit the president to be represented by counsel during the inquiry, or to cross-examine witnesses. As such, the Senate could not adopt the House record in its entirety.
