00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:04.690
As a senator juror I swore an oath before

00:00:05.710 --> 00:00:08.710
Exercise impartial justice.

00:00:08.710 --> 00:00:10.420
I am profoundly.

00:00:10.420 --> 00:00:26.940
Religious my faith is at the heart of who I am.

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:31.460
I take an oath before god as enormously consequence you'll.

00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:34.140
The great question the constitution task senators

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:38.840
to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.700
egregious that rises to the level of a high crime.

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:46.610
And, misdemeanor.

00:00:46.610 --> 00:00:50.510
Yes, he did...I to ignore the evidence that

00:00:50.510 --> 00:00:55.470
has been presented and disregard what I believe my oath in the constitution demands

00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:58.980
of me for the sake of apart...an end.

00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:01.250
...I fear expose my

00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:07.750
character to history rebuke and censure my own conscience.

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.960
I'm aware that there are people...my party and in my state who

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:15.630
will strenuous strenuously disapprove of my decision and in some quarters I

00:01:15.630 --> 00:01:17.190
will be vehemently denounced.

00:01:18.410 --> 00:01:20.870
I'm sure...hear abuse from the president and his supporters.

00:01:22.180 --> 00:01:24.360
Does anyone seriously believe?

00:01:25.950 --> 00:01:29.860
That I would consent to these consequences other than from an

00:01:29.860 --> 00:01:34.840
inescapable conviction that might also before god demanded of me.
