“Presidential impeachments ... become a constant part of the political background noise ... this extraordinary tool of last resort ... no much partisan animosity ... cheapening the impeachment process was not the answer ... So many who profess such concern for our norms ... proved willing to trample Constitutional order”

"(praise of Trump by faint damning) ... None of these things, none of them is unprecedented ... It will be a Constitutional crisis if we had the House a vote of no confidence ... Any future House can rush through and paralyze the Senate, House can do that at will under this precedent ... 2nd and 3rd hand testimony from unelected civil servants overturns a vote ... this moment requires the Senate to fulfill their founding purpose ... the long view ... stability ... against hysteria ... to keep partisan passions from boiling over ... That's why this body has the ultimate say."
