and won't affect their NATO membership - Hawley was just being a dick. All the NATO countries have to approve it through their legislatures.

USA Senate approved Finland and Sweden membership into NATO.

Hawley once said that the Republican party wants to make life so unbearable for Democrats especially in red states that they will leave which in turn will allow total control of the USA in future elections, i.e. dictatorship.

Am I remembering wrong, seems like it’s always been a Senate tradition to have one “nay” vote on legislation that would otherwise be unanimous?
