Senate chaplain PRAYS for civility as impeachment trial opens after Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked House managers and Donald Trump's defense for ugly late-night clashes

Senate Chaplain Barry Black opened the second day of Donald Trump's impeachment trial with a plea for civility, asking senators to remember 'words have consequences.'

He also asked God to give the lawmakers 'civility' as opening arguments begin in the president's trial on two charges of impeachment.

His prayer follows a reprimand from the Chief Justice John Roberts, delivered in the late hours of Tuesday night after Republicans voted down a series of Democratic amendments in party-line votes and words between the two sides grew sharper.
