    If you’d have told me in the 1990s or early 2000s that the I read and listened to would ever use this kicker, I’d have thought you insane. But having gotten to know Bill and his fundamental belief in the rule of law, I can’t imagine him *not* saying this now.

    Imagine how many revelations now have time to come out in the four days between now and Wednesday. That’s like a year in pre-Trump-news-cycle time.

    Today’s news reminds me of some words I wrote in Lawfare more than a year ago: “Serve honorably. Do your best to influence good policymaking. To the extent that you can, stomach the policies you don’t like. If you can’t, quit. And tell the world why.”

    If House managers believe what they’ve argued, they should want witnesses (because witnesses would naturally support their case). If defense team members believe what they’ve argued, they too should want witnesses (because witnesses would naturally support their case). Hmmm....

    Senators yesterday peppered the House managers and the president’s defense team with questions. Many were expected, some were surprises, and a few were quite clever. We’ve boiled it down to the most essential 108 minutes. It’s The Impeachment, Day 8:

    Born OTD 1941: Dick Cheney, 46th vice president. Of note: Cheney was second in an unprecedented string of *three straight two-term VPs*: Gore (1993-2001), Cheney (2001-09), and Biden (2009-17). These three VPs captured in this moment from Bush 41’s National Cathedral service:
