NO = 51
Yes = 49
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creds to both Alexander and Murkowski, both of whom found thier own ways to vote on principle and, in Murkowski’s case, to push back on whatever leverage they’ve got on her.
51-49.
I have to admit I’m surprised. I expected we’d see witnesses. I thought POTUS was goading them into begging for witnesses so that he could bring in some zingers.
Another thing I expected that I DID see was tons of congressvermin stating over and over on the record what Presidential actions should be prosecutable/impeachable. Those statements are going to come back to bite them when 0vomit is prosecuted.
Which Repuke Senators voted yes, then? I assume Romney The Walking Emetic, who else?
Ugh. Final vote on Wed.— Lisa Mei Crowley (@LisaMei62) January 31, 2020
