Analysis | Power Up: GOP senators face loyalty test in vote over Trump's border wall

Some legal scholars are still debating the ramifications of the Senate disapproving of the emergency resolution, even without a veto-proof majority. .

Amar told Power Up. “hip his caucus and react a whole lot d

“It could be a career test for him because there's a lot of pressure on him from Texas...and he's already said that he's going to support it,” a Democratic Texas lawmaker told Power Up, referring to the possibility of hundreds of eminent domain seizures. “Will Supreme Court hear this issue? I suspect so — and that will be true no matter how the vote goes,” Amar told us of how he foresees this playing out. : House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threw down a controversial marker in an interview with my colleague Joe Heim in an interview for “This is news,” declared Pelosi .

GOP Senators are facing a test of Loyalty to the Constitution versus Trump. Anyone that backs Trump on his BS emergency declaration is the kind of SOB that must be run out of Congress.

Will they have the guts to do what is right and vote no?

Watching SenThomTillis on this one. No national emergency!

Loyalty to the American public?

Like a mafia mob boss, Trump always requires a loyalty test: similar to putting a gun into the hand of new mafia member and requiring him to kill. Forever after, the recruit is complicit and trapped. That is today's GOP.

Stop. They are all loyal to him. It’s his party now.

Our Constitution needs significant revision to make our government work for the American people. We need to make Congress an effective law making and oversight institution. We need to limit the power of the Speaker of the House and eliminate filibustering in the Senate.

Too many Republican Senators have taken Russian money to do anything good for America!

Gardner is going down regardless

Loyalty to TRUMP / Putin or the United States of America?

They better wise up and see that Americans don’t that stupid wall. Trump is no a dictator and should not demand support of something to stupid

I guess these Republicans all went brain dead. Because Unconstitutionally speaking it is a done deal.

CoryGardner what ya gonna do Colorado is watching you!!! I’ll put money on your vote for Trump. Did you happen to see his budget proposal? Medicare cuts of over $800 billion? Why Ivanka getting so much $$$? Shame! 🤨

Will they put Trump, party or The Constitution first? Will they aid in the further destruction of the GOP and tarnishment of their names and legacies, or will they finally DumpTrump and begin rebuilding a Conservative Party? This Independent would like choices with his votes.

IQTest is more accurate.

Republicans haven’t stepped up

15 Million American children in poverty. Is this Democrats way of dealign with poor children- let them get sex trafficked? Democrats refuse to stop the flood of illegals, have liberal judges halting deportations of illegals that refuse show up for their Asylum court date.

Its actually an intelligence test to make sure they are at least smarter than the liberal loons.

Would be nice to see some of these folks grow some balls.

They face a consistency test. Tell Donald J Dump to go ask Mexico for the money like he promised.

Hail Hitler

Loyalty to the United States Constitution, am I right?

JaxAlemany BuildTheWall

Yes. Country vs. Party. Party vs. Country. Decisions WhatToDoWhatToDo PoliticalPaperRockScissors

Republicans have no honestly left, they have committed Treason & cannot drop Trump because to many Republican Senators are compromised by visiting Whore Houses.

Dump Trump now!!!!

Yes, loyalty to the American People & Constitution. Democrats are not upholding their oath of office by refusing to secure the border or properly fund Border Patrol. How many children kidnapped & forced into sex slavery is the magic number to stop flooding the US with illegals?

We have a vote-ish over the Wall, Britons have a BrexitVote Just freaking wonderful.

Go ahead and make that choice!! Constituents or Trump!!! Get reelected or please the master? This is a strange and ugly new world we are in!!!!

Spoiler alert....they give the toddler what he wants.

Most of GOP wouldn't support Trump impeachment even if he took Russian assistance: pollDemocrats, of course, largely support impeaching Trump. Coz the GOP hates America! If treason is ok with a political party, then being involved with that political party should be a crime. Surprised whole clan hasn’t fled to Russia or Saudi Arabia to live off all the $$$ they’ve stolen from US taxpayers & absconded from other countries through US presidency for profit. They’ll all be tried for treason in absentia & Trump name will forever be associated w Traitors.
