It was a Republican-controlled Senate. The Republicans, as always, demonstrated more bipartisanship than the Democrats, who unanimously voted not guilty, with 10 GOP Senators crossing the lines. In the same vein, it's always GOP appointed Supreme Court justices who vote the other way. All the moderates and swing votes for decades now have come from Republican Presidents. Every Democratic appointee is a reliable far left vote. Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor & Kagan. Where's the bipartisanship in their appointments? Where's the respect for the interests of the other side of the aisle? How much of a fight was put up over any of their nominations? Now tell me with a straight face that Earl Warren, William Brennan, Potter Stewart, Blackmun, Powell, Stevens, Kennedy, O'Connor, Souter, Roberts and Kavanaugh, at least one of whom was appointed by EVERY Republican president since WW2, have been as reliably conservative as the prior quartet have been leftwing.

Although, hilariously, one of the GOP traitors in the Clinton trial was Ted Stevens, who eventually lost his Senate seat by a tiny margin, thanks to bullshit charges filed against him by the FBI, charges which Attorney General ERIC HOLDER, demanded be thrown out, because of shenanigans by the prosecution. The FBI which sprung a weak case on the longest serving member of the US Senate on the eve of an election, giving him no time to defend himself in the court of public opinion, was led at that time...by Robert Mueller. I guess Murkowski learned a lesson from that. BTW, Collins was one of those "not guilty" votes, so it's interesting to see what her standards are. When is the GOP going to get its act together and primary her ass out into the real world, where she's never worked a day in her life?
