If he isn't convicted, a bunch of Republican senators will have discredited themselves in the general election.  If he is convicted, we will be rid of Trump.  It is worth putting up with a little theater.

The only Republican senators running the risk of being discredited and removed from contention are the five who are directly associated with another Democratic run shit show.

They are the heroes in this affair.

They are meaningless in this affair.

Addressing a number of comments:

1. SCOTUS has no role in an impeachment, but may rule on the legitimacy of impeaching after a person leaves office.  On the merits: ruling that a political act is moot means the court believes it has a say in the matter.  I seriously doubt that interfering makes any sense to them-- any of them.
   
2. History will judge the recalcitrant GOP Senators harshly and the few who spoke-up very kindly.  By then, they will all be dead.  Short term: let's hope that sanity returns, and soon.   
   
3. The GOP is already coming apart at the seams.  If 2022 is a big Dem year, and that's certainly possible, then Katie bar the door.
