Go wax sanctimonious with Rev. Pilch if you want. I don't pretend to be a lawyer. I think a vote to acquit is defensible on the "what is an impeachable offense" question. I wouldn't say that's an absolutely correct position, but neither is it clearly wrong. Beyond that question, the legalities would mean something in a criminal court, where they may or may not end up. Before the Senate, it's a matter of politics as well as law, and all the bleating in the world won't change that. As is, the farcical aspects of the current proceedings are perfectly consistent with Presidential impeachment precedent.
