Standing ovation for his closing comment this evening.

Much like Keith Oberman years ago and his special comments, I will miss Rep Schiff’s incredible speeches once the trial is concluded.

He has nerves of steel. A powerful orator who keeps you captivated on the subject. No wonder Trump is afraid of him.

I have no end of admiration for the man.

He is the anti-Donald Trump.

The other Democrats also did very well. Kudos to all of them! Adam Schiff, however, was magnificent.

Adam Schiff will go into history books, his name will never be forgotten as one saving and fighting for our country. The republicans will go down in history as a bunch of buffoons, just like DJT. Aparently, they don't care. They will never go down in history as trying to save our country. Sad!!! And, they should never have been elected.

If there is not a single Republican who felt the call to rise out of the blind devotion or fear the president, and remember why they ran for Senator, after Adam Schiffs moving, and profound, closing statements tonight, they have hopelessly lost their souls and their way.

Adam Schiff makes a compelling argument. Whereas CNN, MSNBC and CSPAN have been covering the hearings, Fixed News has been airing their "regular programming".

And it was from the bottom of my heart. This man is a true American hero. He is a defender of The Constitution and democracy. He will go down in history as such.

If there are enough Republicans of conscience, then they will also be on the right side of history. If Trump is not removed from office, the entire GOP is going into the shit barrel of history, and they aren't going to be able to pull themselves out of it because they've been racing so far to the bottom. Truth and Right may not matter to them, but my oath to The Constitution stands. There are enough of us who will not allow democracy to die. Future generations will not forget these treasonous pieces of shit.

You're an American hero and you've made this a slam-dunk. Anyone in the Senate Chamber who listened to your speech tonight will have to vote for removal. There's just no other choice for anyone with a conscience.

Respect sir!

for the old "the greatest nation on Earth" platitude.

Not anymore. Not by a long shot.

Great closing argument none the less. Atticus Finch would approve.

He speaks the truth when so many no longer even acknowledge that truth even exists.
