I probably default to ignoring most anything that prominently features Schiff's name ...


You don't have to ignore it. The deep-state-run media will ignore it for you.

So am I wrong that Romney was the first ever Senator to vote for impeachment of a President from their own party?

Schiff is anti-Trump. My impression has been that the media have been giving Mr. Schiff far more attention than he deserves. That's why I pretty much tune out when I see his name.

You appear to be correct:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Andrew_Johnson

0 Democrat senators voted guilty in the Andrew Johnson impeachment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton

0 Democrat senators voted guilty in the Bill Clinton impeachment.

Schiff strikes me as someone who will be whatever they thinks will advance themselves even if that means being someone's puppet. Right now I think Pelosi and or Chuck are the one(s) with their hand up his ______

Quote
Impeachment manager Adam Schiff said Monday in his closing argument that if Trump is not removed from office he may offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for help in the next election.  Schiff also said that Trump may escape to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let his son-in-law Jared Kushner run the country.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Just in case Speaker Pelosi is too torn up to hand out acquittal pens, I went ahead and picked some up for our exceptional #impeachment defense team.

Since they would need a 2/3 majority to convict, it makes that comment even more pointless. 

And Senators are not supposed to be representing citizens, anyway.

That changed in 1913, pretty sure that no one is still alive that was voting age before the 1914 election.

That's why it's important to keep in mind that Senators are not supposed to be representatives.
