Posted by Jared Samilow on December 25, 2019 11 Comments

Appointing conservative judges is the one objective that unites the Republican Party. It is one of the few things the Senate can do without the House.

In other words, they feel that impeachment causes Trump to wear a shameful and symbolic scarlet "I" for all time.
