Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a GOP swing-voter in the Senate, said she was not pleased to hear accusations lodged by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who had accused Republicans of \u201cvoting for a cover-up\u201d earlier this week during the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, prompting her to submit a note to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reminded me that if we were in a normal debate in the Senate, that the rule would be invoked to strike the words of the senator for impugning another senator,\u201d she told Politico<\/a>. \u201cSo, I did write a note raising the issue of whether thered been a violation of the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadler, during the first day of arguments, had accused Republicans in the Senate of \u201cvoting for a cover-up, voting to deny witnesses, an absolutely indefensible vote, obviously a treacherous vote.\u201d The statement triggered a tense exchange between him and White House lead lawyer Pat Cipollone. It came after senators rejected motions to call witnesses and subpoena evidence on the outset of the trial.<\/p>\n

Roberts, in a rare rebuke, admonished both sides at 1 a.m. Wednesday and called on them to show some more respect to the institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the House managers and the presidents counsel, in equal terms, to remember that they are addressing the worlds greatest deliberative body,\u201d Roberts told the Senate.<\/p>\n

Collins noted that the exchange between Nadler and Trumps legal team came when \u201ceveryone was getting very tired,\u201d saying Nadlers claim of a \u201ccover-up\u201d wouldnt affect how she voted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIm going to cast my vote regardless of the congressmans performance,\u201d Collins said. \u201cHis negative comments about the Senate will not have any impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the trial, Collins said she would be willing to vote to call up witnesses in the trial. However, she said she wanted to follow the trial layout that was proposed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who had pushed to follow the precedent set during the 1999 impeachment trial of then-President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

But another senator who has been described as a moderate, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), said she took offense<\/a> to Nadlers remark.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took it as very offensive,\u201d she told local news outlets on Wednesday. \u201cAs Read More \u2013 Source<\/a>
