Let me see if I got this right: 43 Republicans thought it was more important to put another

layer of their lipstick on Trump's rump yesterday than to mete out the justice that the evidence overwhelmingly justified and yet, this morning Jake Tapper's lead is "Did the Democrats miss a chance to strengthen their case by not calling witnesses? Was it malpractice?"

Please pull your head out, Jake!

What the 43 did, actually, was give more of their own power away to the executive branch.

Their power has been so eroded that a congressional subpoena is laughed at. The January exemption has been established so that there are no congressional restraints on an illegal act from the executive. In addition, the 43 have proved that impeachment holds no power.
