00:09 >> Very poorly.
00:10 For the first time in American history, the United States Senate did not fully
00:13 consider articles of impeachment sent over by the House.
00:16 Instead, they were totally dismissed.
00:18 Technically not dismissed, but otherwise disposed of.
00:21 You shouldn't just dispose of such articles,
00:22 you should actually address them.
00:24 >> It wasn't exactly normal order in there.
00:27 What were the American public watching?
00:29 >> They were watching a sad day in the United States Senate, where one more time,
00:34 there are articles of impeachment that were sent over by the House of
00:38 Representatives and they were discarded.
00:40 They were not considered, they were discarded.
00:43 They should have been considered.
00:44 >> Are you concerned that this sets a bad precedent?
00:46 >> Terrible precedent.
00:48 From now, whatever party is in power, if there is a member of their party
00:53 who is being impeached, they will be summarily discarded.
00:58 They should be fully considered.
01:00 That's the way it's supposed to work.
