Secure in the knowledge that Mitch McConnell will never enforce them:

Has a completely different meaning when you’re a Republican:

It's day one of the Senate impeachment trial and Trump's defense team is already lying.

“Not even Schiff’s Republican colleagues were allowed into the SCIF,” White House Counsel Pat Cipollone said. (This is an absolute lie. Republicans participated in the closed-door meetings.) pic.twitter.com/326XsZV4Vx

Sekulow just told bald-faced lies to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Republicans WERE allowed in the SCIF. I was there. Many Rs CHOSE not to show up.

Trial so far:

White male defense lawyer lied.
Impeachment manager told truth.
White male defense lawyer lied.
Woman manager told truth.
Amateurish white male lawyer lied.
Black woman manager told truth.

Spoiler: white male defense lawyers will lie; managers will speak truth. https://t.co/YcykSFWmmY

As expected. not one Republican deviated from Mitch McConnell’s votes yesterday. So much for their “principled” consideration.
