Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer opened the proceedings by offering a time agreement to Republicans that would have allowed a certain amount of floor debate and votes on trial resolutions and points of order before an eventual vote to dismiss the case. Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri objected, saying he would not agree to a proposal.

That allowed Schumer to a motion to table or kill the first impeachment article because “it does not allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor” as required in the Constitution.

After several rounds of procedural votes, the Senate passed that motion 51 to 48 with one member voting present, killing the first article of impeachment.

Then, Schumer moved on to the second article, repeating a similar process. After several more procedural votes, Schumer’s motion to table the second article was also approved, killing it.

The Senate then voted to end Mayorkas' impeachment trial.

How awesome that the left managed to negotiate a turd to not get flushed.
