It's abusurd. I don't even know wtf I'm watching. I can't figure out how it would help a senator..of any party, to abdicate their own authority. It's not even an issue of whether or not he did it, or whether or not he'll be held accountable for doing it, to me. It's about the power to hold someone accountable, if you wanted to hold them accountable. If a despotic president warren tells them to pound fucking sand I don't want to see or hear any tears.

I'm aware that the final vote on Trump's guilt or innocence hasn't taken place. I thought the 'if and when' was pretty well implied.
