[QUOTE="jayem, post: 73732812, member: 8344"] [I]Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) said Monday that "at least" ten of his fellow GOP senators are prepared to vote for a resolution blocking President Trump's emergency declaration at the southern border. “By my count, I’ve had at least 10 people coming up to me saying they will vote to disapprove on this,” Paul told reporters, referring to GOP colleagues... [/I] Dr. Paul's vote will be the 4th Republican vote to block the emergency declaration. Which is all that's needed for it to pass. 10 Republicans voting against the President seems high to me. Anyone think that'll happen? Of course, it's more symbolic than substantive. Donald Trump will veto it. And there aren't even close to the 67 Senate and 290 House votes it'll take to override a Presidential veto. But it's a noteworthy symbol. I can't remember the last time the Senate was under the control of one party, and voted against the President who was of the same party. During the Nixon/Watergate episode? Or maybe the LBJ years on a Vietnam war vote? Anyone know? This is a demonstration of what I've believed since DJT was elected. His most formidable political enemies aren't the Democrats or the media. They're his fellow Republicans.
