They were often held up as voices of conscience whose criticism underscored the president’s wrongdoing. Senator Howard Baker, the Tennessee Republican who (eventually) turned on Richard Nixon, became [a central Watergate figure](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf3KcpP4QWAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmNzbW9uaXRvci5jb20vVVNBL1BvbGl0aWNzL0RlY29kZXIvMjAxNC8wNjI2L0hvd2FyZC1CYWtlci10aGUtcmVhbC1zdG9yeS1vZi1oaXMtZmFtb3VzLVdhdGVyZ2F0ZS1xdWVzdGlvbj90ZT0xJm5sPWRhdmlkLWxlb25oYXJkdCZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDE5MTIxOD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNDYzMSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE5NjkwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMTkxMjE4VwNueXRCCgAbKSL6XaWNzsxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). Senator Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut Democrat who harshly criticized Bill Clinton (while still opposing impeachment), later became a vice-presidential nominee [partly as a result](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf3KcpP4QTAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMDAvMDgvMDgvbmV3cy9nb3Jlcy1jaG9pY2UtZm9yLWhpcy1ydW5uaW5nLW1hdGVtb2RlcmF0ZS1zZW5hdG9yLXdoby1zY29ybmVkLWNsaW50b24uaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPWRhdmlkLWxlb25oYXJkdCZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDE5MTIxOD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNDYzMSZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE5NjkwJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MjIwMTkxMjE4VwNueXRCCgAbKSL6XaWNzsxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

So count me among those who hope House Democrats choose Justin Amash — the conservative Michigan congressman who recently switched from Republican to independent — to be one of their impeachment managers. Amash is evidently interested in the role, and several first-term House Democrats are [pushing](~/AAAAAQA~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) party leaders to select him. If they do so, they would be giving a high-profile role in the Senate trial to a politician who can’t easily be portrayed as just another partisan Democrat.
