This is your regular reminder that if only 4 Republican Senators decided to caucus with the Democrats, Mitch McConnell could be unseated as Leader of the Senate. So if Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse, etc. actually wanted to do anything, this is one thing they could do.
The Republican Party is knowingly and actively complicit with everything Donald Trump is doing. They pretend like there's nothing they can do to rein him in, but that is just their cowardice speaking.
These people took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. If they believe the President is abusing his power, they have it in their power to hold him accountable today. So far, it appears their allegiance to the GOP trumps their allegiance to the Constitution.
I understand that they must keep the wishes of their constituents in mind. They should also keep in mind the judgments of future citizens and future historians. How do they wish to be remembered?
