Impeachment Deathwatch

Various sources are intimating that the Senate will vote Friday not to call witnesses; said witnesses having been a responsibility the House somewhat shirked in its hurry. It appears that McConnell has gotten Murkowski to agree to vote with the rest of his caucus.

Perhaps it is too much to hope for that Romney might be the lone holdout, but it would be a hoot if it happens. If he can’t play nice, he should go home, wherever they’ll accept him. I’d suggest bright blue Massachusetts might work, rosy Utah may have become somewhat cranky with him.

Apparently, once the no-witness vote is won, the Senate will vote the impeachment down and go home to happy constituents. Let’s see if it plays out as predicted.
