Ah, more than a few here will still gripe about him.

He’s far from perfect but he’s getting the judge through and he stuck by Trump through this nonsense.

I don’t care if it was for selfish reasons.

Many things are

The Dems want to explain their votes...10 minutes max...which equates to 16 hrs 40 min. Let them do it on their own time. Stop scr..ing the people.

Can’t. Trial is not over.

Evidently won’t be until Monday or Tuesday next week.

Why can’t Mitch just call for the vote now and get this travesty over with?

Who is the Majority Leader anyway, Mitch or Schmucky?

All except Mittens.

I can forgive Collins as well. I understand that she needs some cover.

NO, IT’S NOT; I want to know what the roll call vote was, I didn’t get to watch this vote because I was out at the rang teaching the wife how to shoot her new CCW weapon and I am going to want to know who the TRAITORS were.

Watching the live feed on Fox 10 Phoenix via YouTube. Their reporter claims the Senate is wrapping up for the night so I would expect the final vote on Monday. If they are wise they will do that since the Iowa Caucus and the SOTU are both set for Tuesday.
