The Senate's chaplain began Wednesday's proceedings in the impeachment trial of President Trump with a prayer urging senators to 'remember that patriots reside on both sides of the aisle'
Washington The Senate's chaplain began Wednesday's proceedings in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump with a prayer urging senators to"remember that patriots reside on both sides of the aisle," a pointed prayer that came hours after Chief Justice John Roberts scolded Democrats and Republicans for their bellicose tone on the trial's first full day.
"Sovereign God, author of liberty, we gather in this historic chamber for the solemn responsibility of these impeachment proceedings. Give wisdom to the distinguished Chief Justice John Roberts as he presides. Lord, you are all powerful and know our thoughts before we form them," Chaplain Barry Black said in his prayer before the proceedings.
