editor victoria’s comment ~ not that surprising (esp. rubio and romney). rand paul – i’ve always felt off about him. now i know for sure who he works for. no worries. he’ll veto. it would take 67 votes to overturn that veto which given what i am seeing the votes to do that aren’t there.

In a stunning move of betrayal, 12 Republican Senators voted with Democrats on Thursday to block President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration.
The measure passed 59-41 as a dozen Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the resolution.
Now, Trump will be forced to issue his first presidential veto since taking office two years ago in order to keep the emergency declaration in place.
Here are the 12 Republican Senators who voted with Democrats to block Trump’s national emergency:
- Lamar Alexander
- Roy Blunt
- Susan Collins
- Mike Lee
- Jerry Moran
- Lisa Murkowski
- Rand Paul
- Rob Portman
- Mitt Romney
- Marco Rubio
- Pat Toomey
- Roger Wicker
