    Just for the record

    PA only has one Senator---Pat Toomey just answered my email of last night regarding the impeachment.

    Anyone thinking this is more than a fools mission is delusional. That said, I also want to hear more testimony--on both sides.

    Sen Toomey has been mentioned as on the fence regarding that probable vote---and I sent him a note encouraging him to vote for that route. His response, this morning, remains noncommittal---which I expected but as I also expected he responded very quickly.

    We do, in the interest of full disclosure, have a second senator---but he hasn't fogged a mirror in years

    They can't run him off, so guess they will just try harder and have fun.

    Well we think alike on this one. I too emailed both of my Senators and asked them to please support our President and to end this ridiculous, partisan charade of an impeachment as quickly as possible. I heard back from my Rep Senator who agreed and committed to doing just that. Did not hear a peep from my Dem Senator.

    I have John Cornyn and Ted Cruz for Senators. I am not concerned at all about their votes.

    I wonder if it really matters. Is there some guy standing there with a clip board keeping score? My guess is if anything it might be used to corroborate more scientifically collected polling data. I never get polled about anything. Good thing I suppose

    Well, Toomey has made his decision:

    Sen. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., said told Fox News Thursday, he was "absolutely certain that we don't need witnesses" as the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump built toward a dramatic vote on that issue.
    "We don’t need to drag this out any longer," Toomey told "Bill Hemmer Reports. "We should move as quickly as we can to get this thing over with, get it behind us."

    It needs to be over since the result in both houses of Congress was certain before either of the deliberations began.
