Senator Susan Collins became the first Republican to vote against party lines on the 10th amendment proposed by Chuck Schumer.
The first 9 amendments proposed by Schumer all failed by a party line 53-47 vote.
Despite garnering Schumer’s vote, the 10th amendment still failed 52-48.
A later 11th amendment also failed, 53-47 by a strict part line vote.
Steven Dennis explained “Just so you are all awake, Susan Collins voted for a Democratic amendment but it didn’t matter. Other Republicans voted down Schumer effort to give impeachment managers a day to respond to WH pretrial motions instead of 2 hours.
52-48.”
Jamie Dupree wrote “The last vote was 52-48. Sen Susan Collins R-ME was the first vote switch today.”
