but the senate is not what the senate was just a mere decade and a half ago. we used to vote on things all the time. there used to be amendments offered on the floor. these bills are now being written in leadership's offices. there's very little true deliberation on the floor of the senate. very few amendment votes are taken. there has been a decline in the robust nature of senate debate over the last decade. i don't know if we are at the all-time low or if it's going to keep getting worse, and a lot of that will depend on what the next senate does with the standing senate rules. >> and who is in the next senate, obviously, which is a very big part of what we're watching right now. julia ainsley, the man who is at the center of this, ostensibly, secretary mayorkas is not there, but he is the person who will go down one way or another and the expectation is that there is zero chance that they will vote him out of office, but he will go down in the history books as one of two cabinet members who faced a senate impeachment trial. i wonder if you're hearing anythi

that's what hard line conservatives like senator lee, like senator cruz, like senator schmidt all are promising could happen if you don't see the trial you want. senator lisa murkowski, a bipartisan leaning member, despite the fact that she's a republican, who's saying she doesn't think there's enough here to convict mayorkas of what house republicans are sending over for the senate to consider, but at the same time she does have concerns about the precedent that it could set to not have a trial in this instance and to not let people be able to basically vote on the conviction articles that are in front of the senate right now. again, we'll watch to see what's happening on the senate floor because we're sort of in a moment of uncharted territory when there are no rules and motions and hours of debate yet agreed to. then we get to sort of see it unfold in realtime, and that's i think where we could end up seeing more of these politically potentially difficult votes as we watch them just sort of play this out in realtime with no agreements on how it's going to go, chris. >> ryan nobles,
