There's some misreporting out there as to the witness vote. Right now there are 49 votes for witnesses and America is waiting to hear from Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. If she assents to witnesses, the question goes to tiebreaker Chief Justice Roberts. And no one knows what he'll do.

PS3/ The *worst* take: Collins and Romney voted yes only because they knew there'd be no witnesses. Murkowski clearly has not yet made any announcement to anyone, and we don't know what Roberts will do, so you cannot say that last night Romney and Collins knew how this would end.

PS4/ My take, but it's a hunch rather than news of any sort, is the chance of witnesses being called is about 20%. I certainly don't think, as I said, that news outlets like CNN should be repeatedly saying "the witness vote is all but certain to fail." That'd be like 2%-3% odds.

I once heard that the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. Murkowski will not vote for witnesses.

Yes, and IMO when the media reports it this way, it makes it easier for people to adjust to this way of thinking. It settles into our subconscious as a lost battle, thereby diminishing the pressure felt by other Senators who may also be conflicted about this decision.

Exactly, zero evidence of a crime. Not even an elevation of crime

If Roberts does nothing, is a hung jury an acquittal?
-
It's an acquittal if 67 senators don't vote to convict. The 5050 is just for witnesses
