Dems were smart to immediately kill it on arrival. A full trial would’ve only benefited the Republicans, given public opinion on immigration, and so knocking it down at a point in time where most Americans are completely unaware of it happening is good.
I wonder if Republicans are sore that they didn't do this to Trump's trials.
Unlike in this situation, them doing so probably
would've been politically damaging, given Trump's unpopularity and public support for both impeachments.
They almost certainly wouldn't have had the votes to dismiss in either instance.
