Ted Cruz’s phone even went off on the floor, sparking a sheepish grin from the Republican caught violating the stern taboo of senators possessing electronic devices during the trial

Some were studious though. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, moderates who sit next to each other, spent much of the session in their seats paying attention. Marco Rubio took notes for much of the day in binders sprawled across his desk. Ohio Republican Rob Portman was just as attentive, taking occasional breaks to stand behind his desk, taking notes while doing so and promptly buttoning his jacket every time he stood up.
Democrats were not the model of decorum either, after the first day of the trial ran until nearly 2 a.m. Early in the afternoon, Mark Warner appeared to doze, his head resting in his hand. Others left their desks to follow the proceedings standing up; Cory Booker and Michael Bennet were particularly inclined to stretch their legs throughout the session. At one point, Warner was seen pointing toward the audience in the gallery.
