By a thin majority, US senators have agreed not to call witnesses during Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
This paves the way for the swift end of the trial, that is all but certain to end in Mr. Trump's acquittal.
Final vote: 49 - 51
In the end, as expected, the motion for witnesses was denied by 51 to 49. Mitt Romney, and Susan Collins, were the two Republicans who sided with the Democrats.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
