So with 45 Republicans now on record saying that the impeachment trial is unconstitutional, that would seem to end much if any suspense over the outcome of the upcoming trial, right? — PolitiTweet.org

@davidmaraniss Yes, an easier out. But the point is that having declared the trial unconstitutional to begin with, you can then say two weeks from now that you're not casting judgment on the merits of the case but sticking with your original judgment that they shouldn't be hearing it at all. — PolitiTweet.org
