12:27 am
republican senators will vote to convict trump. there is that scepticism already. which i think has been widely echoed in other reports as well. it is different than the first impeachment in that you do have in the house tent republicans voting for impeachment. you do have senators not lining up strictly behind mr trump as they did before. as we know jurors are politicians. and they are looking at the political landscape. and the grassroots of the party is very strongly behind mr trump. and there has been action taken or at least talked about in the grass roots officials in the states to punish those who voted for impeachment. they have their eye very firmly on that. threats are being challenged. in the primaries for example, threats of censure votes and that sort of thing. the question is, many of them may want to step back from mr trump and what he means for the party and what his grip on the party and what his grip on the
12:28 am
party is. but voting for impeachment might not do that. it might split the party instead. i think that's the concern. and they might suffer politically. that is all something that they have to think about as they decide how they are going to vote. one of they are going to vote. one of the approaches has been to talk about the procedure rather than the substance. more and more we are hearing from republican senators that it's unconstitutional to try a president after he's no longer in office. carefully spoke to that earlier, there are legal arguments on both sides. although the weight of opinion is that it is constitutional. the constitution doesn't actually direct addresses directly from that that is one—way for republicans to take a more procedural objection to attach and then substantively. you mentioned before thejurors are witnesses. the they were there during the attack on the capitol building. it was very traumatic them. an actual fact, some of the republicans are voting in the house said they didn't know if mr trump had
12:29 am
legally incited the mob. but what they thought was that he had not called it off. and that was enough for a couple of them at least one i remember it maybe two to say i had to vote for vote for impeachment for that reason. i think that will also be a big part of the evidence that the democrats bring. evidence that the democrats brini. �* , ., , evidence that the democrats brini.�* , bring. and five people lost their lives. _ bring. and five people lost their lives. a _ bring. and five people lost their lives. a final - bring. and five people lost their lives. a final thought| their lives. a final thought from you david. it sounds then that this isn't going to go through. this isjust through. this is just symbolism. through. this isjust symbolism. and isn't there a danger that that sort of detracts from the whole impeachment process? because it's not going to actually have any effect. itjust going to be played out publicly as some sort of performance rather than actually bringing about any sort of, legal change. first, i'm not sure _ sort of, legal change. first, i'm not sure that _ sort of, legal change. first, i'm not sure that it - sort of, legal change. first, i'm not sure that it is - sort of, legal change. first, i'm not sure that it isjust . i'm not sure that it isjust symbolism _ i'm not sure that it isjust symbolism or— i'm not sure that it isjust symbolism orjust - i'm not sure that it isjust- symbolism orjust performative. symbolism or just performative. because — symbolism or just performative. because in— symbolism orjust performative. because in impeachment- symbolism orjust performative. because in impeachment is- because in impeachment is itself— because in impeachment is itself a _ because in impeachment is itself a rebuke. _ because in impeachment is
