Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH): In private, many of my colleagues agree that the president is reckless and unfit. They admit his lies. And they acknowledge what he did was wrong. They know this president has done things Richard Nixon never did. And they know that more damning evidence is likely to come out.
So watching the mental contortions they perform to justify their votes is painful to behold: They claim that calling witnesses would have meant a never-ending trial. They tell us theyve made up their minds, so why would we need new evidence? They say to convict this president now would lead to the impeachment of every future president as if every president will try to sell our national security to the highest bidder.
I have asked some of them, If the Senate votes to acquit, what will you do to keep this president from getting worse? Their responses have been shrugs and sheepish looks.

All of them have subverted democracy.
None of them deserves re-election.
