Kinda makes my heart beat a little faster. Since most have already announced on TV, that they plan on voting against removing Trump they have also, at the same time, announced their inability to tell the truth.

I wonder if we will be treated to the spectacle of those Republican stalwarts kneeling before their Lord and Master and declaring their unending loyalty.

Kinda puts everything the Republicans claim to be pure, utter, self proclaimed bull***t.............
LOL, okay. There may be only a couple of senators truly unbiased. Every other senators are biased as all get out. I'd say 95 out of the 100 senators vote is cast in stone before the trial begins, before one shred of evidence is offered or one witness is called. Contrary to popular opinion on this site, one can be biased against Trump as for Trump.

I guarantee, no matter what the evidence shows, witness's say, 95 senators will totally ignore it and them. Impeachment is a political process, a very partisan one in this case, as it was with Bill Clinton's impeachment. We knew with a couple of exceptions exactly how each senator would vote before Bill's trial. We know that today for Trump.

Welcome to the modern era of polarized politics, of ultra-high partisanship. Expecting any senator to be basically impartial, Republican or Democratic, isn't being realistic. Minds and votes have been made up for at least 95 senators since the House began its unofficial investigations back in February. That's 95 senators at the least, perhaps one or two more that are biased as Hades that ought to recluse themselves if being biased for or against Trump is the case.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
