The senators never even went in and looked at the evidence to remove from office.
I wish all representatives were under severe restriction to vote along the lines of their constituents and to take up study of anything 30% of their constituents vote to look into.
That’s right. They didn’t want to see the evidence, which should have been made public in the senate chamber. It is another downside to the 17th Amendment; senators represent party interests, not state interests. Party loyalty trumps all. No rat senator will ever vote for impeachment of a rat prez. I forget which senator said he didn’t care if a witness found Bill Clinton standing over a dead body with smoking gun.
Trent Lott said he didn’t see any evidence. And MS people agreed.
