Setting aside that senators are setting aside their oath to be impartial jurors by prejudging things, the question is what this is going to do to the midterms if Republicans acquit Trump a second time.I just did the numbers and it’s not. 100 senators-31 opposing conviction=69 who are willing to convict. Supermajority needed for conviction: 67. Unless we’re expecting seven senators to not bother voting. And looking it up, it looks like conviction requires only a supermajority of those present and not the entire body.
