GOP Sen. Tillis to vote for resolution blocking Trump's emergency declaration

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.) said on Monday that he will support a resolution to block President Trump's national emergency declaration on the U.S.-Mexico border.

"I would vote in favor of the resolution disapproving of the president’s national-emergency declaration, if and when it comes before the Senate," Tillis wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.

Tillis's decision comes a day before the House is expected to take up the resolution to block Trump's national emergency declaration. Because Democrats control that chamber, it's expected to pass and kick the fight to the Senate.

Tillis's decision puts Democrats on the brink of being able to block Trump's emergency declaration in the Senate. If the resolution of disapproval passes the Senate it will go to the president's desk, where he has said he will use his first veto.

2. Just like they did with the vote to maintain sanctions on Russia.

If there were ever an indication of which country's interests they protected, that vote was it.
Whether or not a GOP senator or representative supports the resolution to end the so-called "national emergency" will indicate whether they take their oath of office to "protect and defend the Constitution" seriously.
