Tearing up the Constitution

Looks like today is the day the republicans tear up our Constitution.  They even acknowledge what he did was inappropriate, but they won't even censure or verbally reprimand him.  By doing this, they are saying that he is above the law.  As far as I am concerned, he still was impeached.  Just because his party refuses to acknowledge it, it does not change anything.  If I were one of them, I'd be concerned that he would use Putin to dig up dirt if he does not like what they are saying about him.  That might be why they won't cross him.
