Two Dems, one planning to change parties, who voted against the inquiry voted "no" while one voted "no" on the second (Obstruction of Congress). Not a single Republican even voted for the rule that allowed for the debate/vote today. Two Republicans didn't vote; one Democrat also was away. Tulsi Gabbard voted "present" on both. Amash "yes" on both.
It's depressing how so many Republicans talked about how the Democrats just "hate" Trump and so forth. At least one said Jesus had more due process from Pilate. I figure a handful at best suggested Trump maybe did something wrong but wanted the process to continue. Democrat after Democrat said how serious it is, how they weren't gleeful (many honestly noted they at first didn't want to impeach) etc. Some very powerful remarks. Touching to me, even if one can be all cynical or want more or expect it just to die in the Senate. Enjoy the moment. Fight for the best fairness and punishment of Republicans possible in the Senate.
