From The Washington Post: Republicans, think carefully about the choice you have to make

We know virtually all, if not all, Senate Republicans will vote to acquit President Trump. They told us up front they were going to let him off, removing even the pretense of adhering to their oaths. They told us they were unserious about their oaths not by pointing to facts or to valid legal arguments but by repeating cable TV news talking points that are irrelevant (“The House was unfair!”) or provably false (e.g., Trump was concerned about corruption). That said, the way they are going about this puts the interests of Trump (whom most of them know is guilty as charged and would have been impeached long ago if a Democrat) above their own. And worse, they have gotten the two things confused.
