Of course they could. Among other things, they might well feel bound, or at least empowered, to follow the 56-44 majority in rejecting any January Exception. — PolitiTweet.org

True whether the Senate convicts or acquits. Either way, America’s story will never be the same. — PolitiTweet.org

"Watching this, I keep coming back to this thought: Is Mike Pence watching this? He could go a long way toward moving this nation forward by breaking his silence. It is never too late to do the right thing," Katyal wrote. https://t.co/PlxBMCuALu — PolitiTweet.org

Only someone blind and deaf to the Capitol insurrection of Jan 6 and to Trump’s methodical inflammation of that violent assault could fail to convict Inciter-in-Chief Trump of high Crimes and Misdemeanors — and of waging war on the United States, which Art III defines as Treason — PolitiTweet.org

Rep @StaceyPlaskett has done her professor and mentor @RepRaskin proud. — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Senators who reassure themselves with the thought that Trump might be prosecuted after they acquit him need to remember that (1) gross dereliction of duty isn’t a federal crime and (2) tyrants throughout history have evaded criminal conviction only to take over as dictators. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone focused on Trump’s Jan 6 speech to make a First Amendment argument needs to rethink that plan bigtime in light of the House Impeachment Managers’ compelling proof that the speech at the Ellipse was only a tiny piece of a long-lasting insurrectionary plan to commit treason — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, @RepRaskin has done a magnificent job. I’m proud as possible of Jamie. But his entire team has been spectacular. Jamie may be Tom Brady, but he’s assembled plenty of Rob Gronkowskis. And trumping it all is the fact that they’re telling the TRUTH. That certainly helps! — PolitiTweet.org

“Not only are these voters partisan, the authors note, but ‘when we asked our respondents about whether or not they agreed with Trump’s fraud claims, 98 percent believed them valid.’” So we mustn’t underestimate the challenge! https://t.co/bLD8bj8D4q — PolitiTweet.org

“Donald Trump may not know much about the Framers. But the Framers knew all about Donald Trump.” — @RepRaskin “He was their worst nightmare.” — @JoeNeguse — PolitiTweet.org

It was brilliant of the House Managers to weave their constitutional argument for why the Senate must be able to try, convict, and disqualify an ex-president with no January Exception into a factual tapestry centered on the 13-minute video. Spellbinding and compelling. — PolitiTweet.org

“They wrote the language of the impeachment powers with a demagogue like Mr. Trump in mind. As incisive political scientists steeped in history, they understood that demagogues are the singular poison that infects and kills republics and democracies.” https://t.co/FvjicCO4Qh — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeNeguse was splendid as well. He knocked it out of the park. — PolitiTweet.org

@RepRaskin gave the finest oral argument I’ve ever heard too. He was magnificent. And his analysis was compelling. It helped, of course, that he was right. https://t.co/Nx5N0o8gIO — PolitiTweet.org

Three House impeachment managers — Representatives Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Joe Neguse of Colorado and David Cicilline of Rhode Island — presented compelling arguments that the Senate has the authority and duty to conduct an impeachment trial against this former president. — PolitiTweet.org

Federal Judge West Humphreys of Tennessee was impeached for organizing an armed rebellion against the United States and convicted by the Senate partly because his failure to appear there to rebut the treason charge against him was viewed as evidence of guilt. Sound familiar? — PolitiTweet.org

@RicPatterson makes an irrefutable case for H.R.1 — as essential to democratic survival, with a lower-case “d.” For republican survival too, with a lower-case “r.” https://t.co/Iyk68oD4Sz — PolitiTweet.org

Any Senator who ultimately votes to acquit will have to take the risk that even more decisive evidence will emerge later showing Trump’s personal responsibility for the mob’s murderous rampage. — PolitiTweet.org
