Cassidy says the reaction to his vote is “very mixed. Some folks incredibly positive, some folks very negative. Those who are negative I reply it’s a constitutional question” “It is Constitution and country over party. For some they get it and others aren’t quite so sure” — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Murkowski: "I don’t think there was anybody who thought we were going to have a second round of impeachment and one that was brought about in due part because of the president’s words and actions.” Collins: Castor singling out Sasse was "inappropriate." Sasse declined comment — PolitiTweet.org

Cassidy said “almost as if they were embarrassed of their arguments” on constitutionality Murkowski on Castor: “couldn’t figure out where he was going. He spent 45 minutes going somewhere,” “I think we spent too much time maybe visiting about Pat Toomey and Casey,” said Ernst — PolitiTweet.org
