Fully expect the next impeachment proceedings to start any time in the next 7 days.
Per the news last week the 50/50 vote that the Chief Justice would have to decide was for the vote on calling witnesses. The answer to why people believe 50/50 is uninformed people - to put it nicely.Can someone explain to me why so many people were hoping for a 50/50 vote? My understanding is that once the vote surpassed 34 for not guilty it was over because there was no way to get 2/3rds guilty vote. Yet, I saw a lot of talk about if it would be a tie vote then the justice would have to rule one way or the other.

I must admit ignorance on the rules until now. I had no concern the Senate would impeach Trump. So I had no need to study up on the rules.
I will say I knew Romney to be a giant knob gobbler but to be such a vindictive dick bag and blame it on his conscience and religion was impressive. He will regret his decision come election time.
It was obvious that Romney voted that way out of spite to a man than did something He himself could not do....Win the office of The President of the United States.
I watched the vote at a Rouses. There were a couple of employees who thought that they needed simple majority and it was comical to hear them cheer for their side as the vote tally progressed. They thought there was a chance on the second article and stayed up the cheering again!
