Every speech has a 10 min limit.

Sen Loeffler is reading her statement. She will not vote to convict, because she favors election to decide Trump's misconduct.

Udall is in the convict camp, because unfair trial and WH cover-up.

Congressional Record, Issue: Vol. 166, No. 22, February 3, 200

Closing arguments of "both sides" by trial managers were alternately delivered in four hours, excluding the 30-minute lunch break. (errata: No one but the C.J. presided all day!) Mssrs CROW, JEFFRIES, and HUAC Rev. Chairman SCHIFF spoke for the house before counsel CIPPOLONE introduced Mssrs STARR, PURPURA, PHILBIN, and SEKULOW. Video clips punctuated their speech. House managers returned to the balance of time marshaled by LOFGREN, GARCIA, CROW, and JEFFRIES, then finished by HUAC Rev. Chairman SCHIFF's "Midnight in Washington" eulogy.

All said and done, the Chair moved to adjourn the nearly empty chamber.

Mr. McCONNELL. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The CHIEF JUSTICE. The clerk will call the role.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.

Quorum being rescinded, a parade of senators led by MURKOWSKI presented "statements," or opinions, about impeachment articles, trial proceedings, arguments (recorded in sections 6 and 10 of HTML index; entirety in PDF issue).

My understanding, from a tweet by MADDOW which circulated sundry sympathetic and antagonistic innerboob timelines is, he demonstrated unprecedented, of course, oratorical skill--though no comparison to the presumptive master of that discipline, Mr Obama, has yet risen to my attention.

I did ask my left-coast correspondent, the California 'fugee emerita of Hobo House, her sage opinion. It was good, she said. Did he repeat himself? I asked. I don't know, she said, I didn't listen to much of the trial.

UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--PRINTING OF STATEMENTS IN THE RECORD AND PRINTING OF SENATE DOCUMENT OF IMPEACHIMENT PROCEEDINGS--MODIFIED, deadline for printed submissions postponed to 26 Feb 2020

Notes from Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., during the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

'What a hot mess!': Read 7 senators' handwritten impeachment trial notes, 8 Feb

Prohibited from using phones or computers, members could only record their thoughts on one of the most consequential votes of their careers using the same technology they used in grade school: pen and paper. And by doing so, senators instantly created HISTORICAL ARTIFACTS.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., scribbles on closing statements

Some filled multiple notebooks, LEGAL PADS, or small, bound journals at their mahogany desks as they sipped from glasses of milk or water. Others jotted just a few thoughts while others copied verbatim arguments from House impeachment managers and members of Trump's defense team. In black and blue ink, they underlined, starred, circled and bullet-ed what stood out to them.

Notes used by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) during the impeachment trial of US President Donald J. Trump.

Murkowski's thoughts on the proceedings were PIVOTAL. A key SWING VOTE, both sides sought to persuade her on the question that lingered over the trial, whether additional witnesses should be called. Two days before she would ultimately vote against the idea on Jan. 31 -- Murkowski penned questions she and fellow senators asked.
