Give Republicans any time whatsoever and they'll organize a defense and move to obstruct anything. At this point it seems clear that no more than a handful are going to vote to convict, and I'm sure they're already lining up their talking points for the trial. Given that conservatives don't want government to work (at least for anyone that's not them) they'll gladly filibuster and hold up everything Biden and the Democrats want in the Senate, and stall to regain control of both Houses of Congress in 2022. And they've got a good chance of doing so, especially in the House. OTOH, by letting him off the hook they're also giving Trump a new lease on life. I hope that Rubio, Hawley, Cruz, Rand Paul, and all of these other fools are happy when they announce for the GOP nomination in 2024 and get beaten by Trump yet again - when by voting to convict they could likely have stopped him now.
