Excerpts from article:
...The Senate spectator gallery has remained half-empty during President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, and some senators are stunned that more people are not taking note of the historic moments that are taking place in the chamber.
...The spectator gallery offers a view of the Senate in a compact chamber as senators debate whether Trump should be removed from office.
...It is almost assured that Trump has the votes to be acquitted of all charges because there would need to be two-thirds of votes or 20 Republicans who defected for Trump to be convicted of the two charges against him.
..."Because it's on television, it's a convenient alternative to coming in," said Sen. Jack Reed.
...The House of Representatives voted in December to charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, two charges which lawyer Alan Dershowitz has argued are "Noncriminal actions."
