WASHINGTON—A Republican senator who GOP leaders feared might join Democrats in voting in favor of new testimony said Thursday night he is planning to vote against calling witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump, bolstering Republicans’ chances for bringing it to a rapid conclusion.
Sen. Lamar Alexander announced his plan after senators wrapped their second and final day of questioning Mr. Trump’s legal team and House Democratic impeachment managers, during which the two sides sparred over...
He won't get reelected
🐔
They will all vote against witnesses, thanks to the intentional, often verbally abusive, media misinformation and the complete idiocy of the offenses. Not to mention the invalidity of the whole impeachment process from the beginning (in 2016).
Kudos to a Dem who’s supporting our constitution and real laws of our country.
Honest question....why did they just all these witnesses in the house? It just seems more reasonable to have called all the witnesses there and then the ones that were blocked, they bring it up again in the senate.
What a sad epitaph to a long, respectable career of service.
What a loser. I hope the house acts as a Giant whistleblower to defend what ever is left of our democracy
Turned his back on the country
Evidence you say? Nah.
He is a Coward!
What will these people do if the Senate votes to stop this impeachment. They will cry and look for something else unless this entire thing was a well planned..... trap
Good for him vote fucking no to this impeachment sham
Spineless SenAlexander
Just a rationality question and NOT meant to break the legal plane (plz don’t stab me) but.... logically speaking, if someone says, “no! don’t ask him/her (under oath)!” ... isn’t that a hint of acknowledged guilt?
And now we know why:
Majority of senate will return to Dems in the year
SenAlexander is retiring and would like to be remembered as the villain in our democracy. History will remember him for his decision in this moment, when he helped the great USA fall from its mighty role of the leader of honor and justice.
So obvious. Somebody has something on him and they will make it public if he votes yes.
Incredible!
To the honorable Mr. Schiff, and the 6 other honorable House Managers be encouraged. You put forth your very best 'The Truth'.

When one party is complicit with the accused, it’s not partisan, it’s conspiracy. “I chose to cover my inept traitorous candidate’s 🍑 over the Will of TheAmericanPeople who elected me.” GOPTraitors WitnessesAndDocuments ? GFY johncornyn tedcruz VoteTexas GuiltyAF
So, one more year of a king and then perhaps maybe, back to a president? Hope a fair and representative media will continue to show the errors the Senate has made. 53 little lambs who are ponying up to their king.
Us Tennesseans feel disappointed and disgraced.
Hopefully Satan will come and Then you can burn with Trump for eternity. Can we say 666
Even retiring Senators have no courage and no shame.
Suck it 🇺🇸
Another impeachment coming up!! Hehe
Forever Impeached. He still loses. And it will drive him crazy.
Good. No one in America cares about it. Get back to work
Very logical. Thank you.
What kind of justice is this
WHERE DID MITCH MCCONNELL GET 85 million to give to Hal Rogers of Kentucky and other reps of Kentucky
Pure conjecture but has anyone considered the possibility the house will launch another round of impeachment hearings trying some new nebulous issue or other?
A trial with no witnesses is not a trial. Democrats should collectively abstain from voting on conviction or acquittal. At this point, voting on the articles only serves to hurt vulnerable Democratic Senators in 2020 and beyond.
That’s it, I’m running for Senate.
LOL. Bring in the NPCs!
It's concerning to watch spinless Republicans putting Trump above country and the American people and pretty much saying they are totally ok with him cheating US in the next 2020 election. A boundless/lawless corrupt President is something all Americans should be united against.
SenAlexander just ruined his legacy and any notions of a pleasant retirement.
He’s a traitor
Democracy is doomed, thanks to your garbage editorial page
SHAME ON HIM!
How do we mobilize? When are the protests? We can't just sit back & allow this to happen!!! The time for us as patriots, believers in democracy & advocates for the constitution is now!!
