It seems pretty clear that trump will not be voted "guilty" by the senate. It appears to me that he's clearly guilty, and that the reason he'll be acquitted is because of party politics.
So zooming out, I'm trying to be more gracious towards the GOP senators who will vote to acquit and see if I can discover any logical, ethical reasons for such votes.
One idea is that a GOP senator of good conscious *might* believe that the risk of a guilty verdict could result in a civil war. I don't think that's a very good argument, but I can imagine it.
Can anyone think of other logical and ethical reasons a senator might vote to acquit trump?
