I think 5 R voted against Rand and the idea the impeachment is unconstitutional. Trump is already impeached, that was done in the house. Then Senate does the trial and Rand was trying to say the impeachment itself was unconstitutional (already passed, he is impeached but not yet tried).
So 5 republicans dont think the already approved impeachment is unconstitutional. They may believe him innocent, that is unknown and seperate.
In reality, trump wants a world stage to present evidence. So this helps him.
Think they were tabling something paul introduced
Right... So in fact, 5 Republicans did in fact vote IN FAVOR of Impeachment (by way of shutting down Paul's obstruction).
But the headline is reading into the votes to infer that ONLY 5 Republicans will vote to convict, when 17 will be needed.
So it's not DOA, there will be a trial, etc. It's just that in the final vote, there is unlikely to be a conviction.

No he’s not impeached,you dont get convicted at the time of being charged not how it works if it did there would be zero reason for court!
