It doesn't matter that his defence is woeful. The senate GOP is not impartial.
They have found their excuse. It's that he can't be found guilty once he has left office. They'll stick to that because that's what they do. Evidence doesn't matter. Arguments don't matter.
The GOP senators hoped the defence attorneys would provide them legal cover for their decision to vote for Trump. So now they will have to vote without it. But there's no doubt which way they will vote.
The thing that will be apparent is how pathetic the GOP is and how hopeless the US constitution is when it comes to making presidents accountable via the impeachment route.
