If only the GOP had the party discipline…

That the Democrats have.

Nonetheless Donald J. Trump was acquitted.

Seven GOP senators on Saturday joined 50 Democrats in voting to convict former President Donald Trump on an article of impeachment, though the vote fell short and Trump was acquitted.

Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) voted to convict Trump in a charge of incitement of insurrection.

Pat Toomy has already announced that he will not run for re-election in 2022. the other senator whose term is up in 2022 is Lisa Murkowski, (AK)

Our living fossil Pat Leahy is also up for re-election in 2022. I’ve no doubt that if he chooses to run he will be re-elected by a landslide.

May the old buzzard die peacefully at his Senate desk.
