Second best line of day 1 was also from Jamie Raskin:

The Constitution says the President is to execute his duties as President, not execute the Vice-President.

Raskin really did tear the bark off him. It was brilliant.

There were so many really, REALLY great lines last night. I wouldn't be able to pick out one to be the very best or even my most favorite line.

I did find Hilary's comment very satisfying, about DJT falling asleep during his own trial, and waking up to be 'the first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions'.
