Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is spearheading the resolution, which is backed by 44 GOP senators including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Graham, during a press conference with reporters, lashed out the House impeachment inquiry calling it a "secret proceeding" and a "rogue action" that "denies due process."
"The process in the House today I think is a danger to the future of the presidency," Graham told reporters.
He argued that under the current procedure Trump was "pretty much shut out," adding "God help future presidents."
The GOP senators not cosponsoring the resolution as of Thursday afternoon, according to a list from Graham's office, are: Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio).

They would need 11 more Republicans to vote to convict and I don't see where they would come from. Trump is safe.
That ship sailed some time ago.
“The deep state/dems/msm will attempt AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN to oust Trump, as we have seen.”
I think it’s more like, “oust Trump” = “kill Trump”. We absolutely KNOW where they’re headed because trying to oust him in’t really working for them.
I heard the number was up to 48 but couldn’t find the names. Do you have a link?
Well then it REALLY would be like “The Godfather”.
And I believe you.
He needs protectors everywhere.
Ronna McDaniel and the RNC need to put pressure on these traitors and not give them a cent!!
I know Lou Dobbs likes her however I don’t trust her since she is Romney’s niece.
Want to know what a RINO is? Just look at these nine senators...
Electonia collusion, to change the outcome of elections.
Staaaahhhhhhhhhp.
Lamar Alexander already was on the Bob Corker Express.
Don’t despise the whole GOP because of a few. The GOP is our only hope to stop this thing.
It’s an ongoing process. The secret impeachent is actually giving cover for any rino traitor such as this. They can eventually justify their YES vote on removal by claiming they’ve seen overwhelming evidence that the public hasn’t seen.
The rats are brilliant really.
Also Sullivan in Alaska. What’s the deal with these people, anyhow? When I lived there it was quite conservative.
I wouldn’t jump to any conclusion as it may also mean these cowards do not want to play their hands yet. We do not know their final votes.
Speaking of RINO’s, where is that runt Rubio?
If it came to a vote to convict, I guarantee you could add my Senator (Toomey, PA)RINO to that list.
It is also the job of the GOP to make sure we have majorities.
The Abortion Twins, the RINOs, and the Never Trumpers.
I hope it leads to a landslide in 2020, as Trump shoves it right up their collective keisters.
