Hello Darth,
So was Trump, depending on who you ask.
I must have missed the part of the Constitution that says all impeachments will be the same.
What Trump did was worse than Nixon or Clinton. Clinton lied about a BJ. Nixon tried to rig an election domestically. Trump tried to rig an election by inviting foreign intervention. That Trumps the other two! And after all, he's Trump.

The Senate *assumes* the House did the necessary investigative work prior to sending the articles so they are under no obligation to continue the investigation in the Senate by calling witnesses neither side has had an opportunity to interview prior to the trial.
None, whatsoever.
This message needs to be sent to future Houses: don’t send half-finished investigations over and expect us to finish *your work* and then vote on it. House Democrats had a shot at Bolton but they wanted their half-cocked impeachment* before Christmas.
No witnesses. Sorry/not sorry.

Hello Darth,
Well correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like Susan Collins and Lamar Alexander both want to hear from witnesses. Sounds like the dam is breaking. Just toss in Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski and all of a sudden we might just hear from witnesses after all. This thing could get very out of control of Trump real fast, tweets or no tweets.
It only takes 4 Republicans to jump ship...
And we have more evidence coming out regularly. If the Senate doesn't seize the opportunity to deal with it the House can always crank up another impeachment.
The SCOTUS is set to rule on releasing Trump's taxes and financial records in March. That could lead to another impeachment, if Trump survives this one.

Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
I base it on input from the examples here. I'm also talking about the folks here. But hey, you can imagine all sorts of stuff and try to put that on me, it seems to be par for the course with Democrats.
We can also determine a bit how "they" think by the way they start spouting talking points... like, "They shouldn't be allowed to say they'll be impartial!"
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

They all have major conflicts of interest and would be guilty of that which Trump is being accused; abuse of power interfering in an election trying to damage ones opponent
There isn’t a criminal court in the country that would allow them to be jurors. They must recuse themselves
Well, if the Senate votes to hear witnesses then future Houses can send partially investigated charges over to the Senate—with a straight line partisan vote by the majority party. Then they can sit on the articles while the investigation is completed, or not.
Or they can not send them at all, and proclaim that the president is ‘impeached for life’. Then we’ll get to see if the Democrat President is able to ‘survive it’.
