A case as serious as impeachment should have been done by the book knowing it was going to be picked àpart. No one to blame but house Dems.

The Senate did not "vote against witnesses". The House acts as the prosecution and the House is supposed to gather evidence and speak to witnesses. The House called 17 witnesses and none of them had anything to add to this case.
The Senate acts as the jury. They take an oath to be impartial jurors. When have you ever heard of lawyers asking the jury to go gather more evidence for their failed case ?
