Defeated, 49 YES, 51 NO.

Collins and Romney voted with the Democrats to Kavanaugh the trial.

After nearly two weeks of the #ImpeachmentTrial, the Senate just voted to move forward without additional witnesses by a vote of 51-49. We have heard more than enough. The House Managers failed to make their case. It is time to acquit @realDonaldTrump. — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) January 31, 2020

A majority of the U.S. Senate has determined that the numerous witnesses and 28,000-plus pages of documents already in evidence are sufficient to judge the House Managers’ accusations and end this impeachment trial.

This is why I told the Judiciary Committee that it was a monumental mistake to rush the impeachment vote on an incomplete record and hand over their case to the other house and the opposing party. This will go down as a blunder of historic measure by the House leadership. — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) January 31, 2020

Schumer: "No witnesses, no documents in an impeachment trial is a perfidy. It is a grand tragedy. One of the worst tragedies that the Senate has overcome. America will remember this day, unfortunately, where the Senate did not live up to its responsibilities." — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) January 31, 2020

This is the moment pro-impeachment protesters outside the Capitol building found out the Senate voted against having additional witnesses. The crowd yells "shame!" One man yells "Fuck Trump!" and a woman vigorously shakes her bell. pic.twitter.com/8nVbtGXtf6 — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) January 31, 2020

[There was evidence. Lots of Evidence. Lots of witness transcripts and videos. House could have obtained more in the House and Courts, but didn't bother.] https://t.co/xGPStPxYus — Legal Insurrection (@LegInsurrection) January 31, 2020
