Some have aired their opinions. Some have not.
Unlike a criminal trial where the jury is selected through voir dire, challenges for cause, and peremptory challenges, the jury pool for a Senate Impeachment trial was already selected by the voters.
Yet, the purpose of today’s oath is to remind the Senators of their duty to drop all pre-dispositions, and to hear the evidence and argument with an open and objective mind.
Stand together and hear the evidence.
