In a series of votes, the Senate completed the process of dismissing the articles

I can't help being amused by the fact that, when I try to post the word Schumer,
auto correct wants to change it to Schemer!
If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion,
mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
