reminds me of the merle haggard song

the fighting side of me.

Lyrics

I hear people talkin' bad,

About the way they have to live here in this country

Harpin' on the wars we fight

And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be

And I don't mind 'em switchin' sides

And standin' up for things they believe in

But when they're runnin' down our country, man

They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down a way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it

Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'

When you're runnin' down our country, hoss

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I read about some squirrelly guy

Who claims that he just don't believe in fightin'

And I wonder just how long

The rest of us can count on bein' free

They love our milk and honey

But they preach about some other way of livin'

But when they're runnin' down our country, man

They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down the way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it

Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'

When you're runnin' down our country, man

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

After the defense team concluded its argument Tuesday, Senate Republicans huddled in a senators-only meeting to discuss witnesses and the path forward. McConnell and several Republicans warned that moving ahead with one witness could lead to a number of new witnesses — and there would be no clear path out of the trial, according to a source familiar with the remarks.

A source in the room said McConnell made clear to senators that Republicans don't currently have the votes to block witnesses, but underscored that it is still a work in progress as several GOP senators remain noncommittal on their votes. A Senate GOP source said leadership came away from the meeting more confident they would be able defeat the witness vote.

"We're in a better place than we were, no question," said one Republican senator in the room.

The situation in the Senate Republican conference remains fluid. Two Republican senators, Mitt Romney of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine, have signaled they want to hear from witnesses, including Bolton. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska says she is "curious" about Bolton's testimony.

But there's no sign of a fourth GOP senator expressing support for witnesses at this point, though several Republicans remain on the fence.

"I think the facts are all out there," said Senate Majority Whip John Thune of South Dakota. "I don't think that anything that he's going to say changes the facts … I think people kind of know what the fact pattern is."
