Senate impeachment question on Roberts (Original Post)

OP

(16,086 posts)1. There won't be a tie
not a single Republican will vote to convict.
Oh, and three Democrats are likely to vote in his favor as well, so they can claim it is "bipartisan".

Bettie
(16,086 posts)3. There won't be a tie on that either
and those three Democrats will still likely vote with every single Republican.

[Sorry, Can't help it. I regress to the McCain vote on healthcare - the 'leader's face turned to shit. That was so great].
