NADLER suddenly recesses the hearing and reconvenes for 10AM to cast final votes. Collins erupts that he wasn’t consulted. Republicans are furious.
This appears to be a logistical decision to take votes in the light of day — rather than face likely accusations that votes of such magnitude were held in the dead of night.
A little gamesmanship too. Dems are peeved that Republicans initially expressed that they wanted to be done early in the evening only to introduce a lengthy string of amendments that dragged debate past 11pm.
But mostly the delay is to ward off an all but certain accusation that Dems were burying their impeachment vote in the middle of the night.

Dems see the short-term pain of a process complaint from Collins as more palatable than long-term claims they were trying to hide the vote
