Yes. Yes I can.
Yes. Yes I can.

Look, @HaMeturgeman, I get it. But the response, if that's how a particular republican senator feels, is to make a floor speech denouncing what they see as inappropriate politicization and then explaining that they're voting to remove *despite*, not *because* of it ...
Because it's the right thing to do and a necessary response to Trump's impeachable misconduct.
"I can't do the right thing because you didn't do the right thing" is, particularly in the face of this issue, completely indefensible.

Neither of us would accept an argument like this from one of our children, Eli. Why are you suggesting it would be more understandable coming from a sitting US Senator burdened by an oath of office?
