"Today is a sad day for the U.S. Senate. Alexander Hamilton described the Senate as the best venue for an impeachment trial because it is independent and dignified. When the Senate voted 51-49 against witnesses and evidence, those 51 abandoned any claim to independence or dignity."

"After this vote and after this day, those of us who are entrusted with this high office must each do our part to work to bind the wounds of our divided nation. I hope we can leave the Senate chamber with that common resolve."
