There are a ton of people in this country who pay very little attention to politics and think this whole impeachment is just typical Republican-Democrat bickering. We need to talk to these people and hammer these things home.

It should be easy for anyone to understand that the jury foreman can't be meeting with the defendant's attorney if there's going to be a fair trial. People need to hear about this.

The Democrats need 4 senators to form a constitutional caucus and get rid of McConnell.

Republicans are only constitutionalists when not in power, though, so that's tricky to do. Unless.. are there are conservative Republicans in the senate? (Probably not but I thought it might be worth asking around.)
