55. {Powerful case} - {67 Senators who agree} = {it doesn't matter}
When your case has the power to convince 67 Senators to support conviction, then and only then, is it powerful enough.

Otherwise all your facts and evidence is useless. There's no appeal and the Senators can use any basis they wish, including their own political calculation, to decide on their vote for conviction. They need not even consider your facts or your case.
