I've been hearing that upwards of 20 Senators have either been away from the hearing for an extended time or have left early. WHO ARE THEY? We need to call them out for not doing this one simple little job of listening to the trial.
If any of them are one of the Senators who works for me they're getting an earful. It's pretty easy to get the impression that those particular Senators have no intention of making an informed decision (surprise surprise), even if we can't change their minds we need to embarrass the hell out of them.

(13,186 posts)Sure, McConnell doesn't want Republican Senators to have their nameplates showing in front of an empty chair. But what he's also getting is much better for Republicans. We don't see that the Republicans were actually present for damning testimony. The American people don't get to witness a Republican Senator juror in real time watching convincing evidence on the floor and, later, doing nothing about it.
