Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul The Senate just voted on my constitutional point of order. 45 Senators agreed that this sham of a “trial” is unconstitutional.

I wish that weren’t necessary, with the president’s conduct with regard to the call to the secretary of state in Georgia as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led...
