Fox News poll finds independents want the Senate to convict and remove Trump by 19-point margin: 53 percent to 34 percent.
All Americans responding want the same 50% to 44%.

The Trump Team’s Legal Defense Was a Tour de Force of Hypocrisy By Elie Mystal Today 9:29 am On Monday, the Republicans put on a full-throated defense of President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial in front of the United States Senate. It was a disjointed presentation. Unlike the case offered against Donald Trump by the seven Democratic House managers, the Republicans adopted no coherent narrative to explain why Trump did the things he’s admitted to doing, and couldn’t even stay on the same page in terms of whether he did them at all. ...

But dozens of immigration judges have reported that despite their efforts to stick out the presidency, they’ve just reached their breaking points. The Los Angeles Times spoke with dozens of judges who are quitting or taking early retirement because they simply cannot stomach having to enforce Trump administration policies on immigrants. ...
