I wrote in the thread* for recording Senators opinions on the impeachment vote, that, if I could be anyone else today, I would like to be Sherrod Brown (D-OH). Was amazing and powerful.
Heres his MUST WATCH speech:

To quote just a small part from his speech:
All 100 of us, every single one of us, are the jury. We took an oath to be impartial jurors. We all took an oath to be impartial jurors, just like juries in Ohio and across America. But to some of my colleagues, that just appeared to be a joke. The great journalist, Bill Moyers, summed up the past three weeks, What weve just seen is the dictator of the senate manipulating the impeachment process to save the demagogue in the White House whose political party has become the gravedigger of democracy.
