The Democrat-controlled House is expected to pass legislation Tuesday or Wednesday overturning POTUS Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border, as expected, but he’s also running into increased opposition in the GOP-controlled Senate.
In an op-ed on Monday in the Washington Post (of course), Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., announced that should the House measure pass and make it to the upper chamber he would vote to support it, becoming one of at least three Republicans who have vowed to side with Democrats, the other two being familiar to RINO watchers: Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine.
Democrats only need four Republican defections in the Senate to pass the blocking legislation, which only needs a simple majority.
Tillis proclaimed, “I would vote in favor of the resolution disapproving of the president’s national-emergency declaration, if and when it comes before the Senate.”

Life is risk.
If you have no enemies, it’s because you’re not doing anything.
You have to hand it to the Dems...they stick together. There are no defectors or traitors on their side.
No traitors to each other, just the country.
He should sign it, then issue a new one the next day after announcing all the new problems at the border since he issued the last one. Keep repeating the process.
I predict if the President vetoes it, the votes to override will materialize.
King Uzziah famously built walls, and very much militarized them, including some inventions that we can’t identify today.
“Tillis”
A guy who needs to be run out of the Republican party
Its important to see turncoat Republicans declare themselves. And then its important to be rid of them. It annoys me that Murkowski is still in office, when we know who and what she is. Now add Tillis to the list.

Tillis is the Republican party. The Party of Lincoln is no more.
You have to hand it to the Dems...they stick together. There are no defectors or traitors on their side.
Dems? There is no more bipartisan policy inside the beltway than open borders.
No they won’t. There are too many Republican Senators who just watched what happened in the house. RINOs are an endangered species.
Just as well, let’s get the open borders RINOS to go on record and we can vote accordingly in upcoming primaries
Politicians betraying the American people for a bunch of foreign freeloaders and criminals. Nice.
“I predict if the President vetoes it, the votes to override will materialize.”
I was thinking the very same thing. The GOP RINOS could very easily override his veto. That is why it is important to have them on record.
RINOs are an endangered species.
Not at all. The stinking pile of garbage immigration bill was filled with RINO open borders priorities. As Rush stated: they are in control and flipping the bird at those who elected Trump.
You have to hand it to the RINOs they embrace stupid like a Christmas toy.
Hey, Tillis! Ever hear of Obama?
You expect the 'Ratz to refrain just because you did?
Dem congress believe in killing babies and letting drugs and terrorists walk into our country.. few years ago this would have been unthinkable.
