We’ve already seen how the Senate acts with the Democrats being in control - for example with Clinton, where they would NOT CONVICT.

When Clinton was on trial, the GOP had 55 Senators. The two charges were both defeated, 45/55 and 50/50.

Couldn't get even a simple majority, much less 2/3. Not even all Republicans voted to convict, on either charge.

Ah, yes. Who can recall the halcyon days of the Clinton impeachment without recalling the glorious memory of Arlen Specter and his timely discovery of "Scottish law"?

Not to mention the firm and honorable leadership of Trent Lott...
