But as The Hill noted in a piece over the weekend (link here), GOP Senators have steadfastly refused to read the transcripts from the preliminary hearings and do not plan to watch the public ones this week.
Lindsey Graham, a Republican Senator from South Carolina, seems so ignorant of the process that he thinks all of the testimony is about the telephone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president.
Nevertheless, they will be forced to pull their heads out of the sand and pay attention if Trump is in fact impeached and the matter moves to the Senate for a trial. There, attendance is mandatory and, like a civilian jury, they must sit quietly and listen to the proceedings, gavel to gavel.
Let's see how smug they are about the whole thing once it's underway.
