I know they are getting better but I noticed if it is an important call, only assholes use speaker phones.

POTUS is important enough to use a speaker phone but doesn't. Love it. (Although I suspect this was stage, I prefer to believe he wouldn't use a speaker phone anyway.)

I do not object, even though it is a pain in the butt, if there is more than one person on the other end of the call.

Will stop being obstructionists. We'll see. Some will be reflexively opposed to anything Biden wants to do, but some may actually (gasp) put the Country first.

Murkowski is clearly disgusted by Trump, Q, et al. I think Romney will vote to convict again. Sasse might surprise us. I don't think we'll get enough to break a filibuster, though.
