Signing an oath book is an unusual way to cement your responsibilities but during this trial it’s been done 100 times.

Among the signatories is New York’s Junior Senator Kirsten Gillibrand who finds her already complicated day job just got even more interesting.

“It’s really just be prepared to sit for very long hours and really absorb information and facts, it’s really not that different from law school, but it is a serious moment and you feel the weight of history and feel the weight of your responsibility,” said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

Life is locked-down in the Senate Chamber these days.

According to the rules of the road, Senators can’t come and go as they please, eat in the chamber, move around too much, or even speak to each other.

“We’re taking two hours of testimony at a time and so some people need to get up to take a break and stretch their legs but overall, people are being respectful and just really spending the time and listening to the evidence and hearing from the House Managers who, up until now, have been very effective,” said Gillibrand.

Gillibrand feels the substance of the trial is resonating with some Senators, although it’s hard to tell if any Republicans have been moved thus far.

The seven House Managers including New York’s Jerry Nadler and Hakeem Jeffries are presenting their case, spending hours walking the Senate through the Ukraine saga from the Whistleblower to the White House.

“I have to say I’m very concerned about what President Trump did and I’m very concerned about how so many people within his administration facilitated it and tried to cover it up,” said Gillibrand.

Gillibrand is paying attention, taking meticulous notes saying she’ll refer to them when the times comes to render judgment on whether this President remains or is removed, all while continuing to serve the people of New York.

“Yes I’m doing my day job too in addition to this impeachment proceeding and will continue to do that at this very intense pace until it’s completed,” said Gillibrand.
