Senate Votes 56-44 That the Unconstitutional Impeachment Is Constitutional

Those voting with the Democrats are, as they always are, Susan Collins of Maine, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.

That means, though, that 44 Republicans are on record declaring the show trial to be unconstitutional, which means that this whole ordeal is just as pointless -- and just as much a last-gasp gift to CNN and its plummeting ratings -- as we thought. (To convict, Democrats and NeverTrump liberal Republicans need 67 votes.)

And 44 Republicans have declared the show trial a farce even though Trump's lawyer was apparently terrible!
