Inspirational line of former Senator
“I was not born yesterday. I was born a long time ago and I am about to die. I want to leave a legacy. That at least, when presented with this anomaly, in trial technique, I rose to condemn it. We will be studied generations from now by other senators faced with other impeachment cases and I do not want the records to reveal that we allowed these developments to pass by uncommented on. This is a travesty!” ©
