Well the GOP has ten votes to impeach TRump???
It’s time for a third party...
FL Rubio is a POS. Already knew that.
He got heckled at the first TEA party rally I went to in 09. Because as speaker of FL house he said he was against AZ’s immig laws.
Uni-party in action. Sickening to watch.
its a resolution. they can’t end a presidential national emergency declaration.
These Senators do not care about the integrity of our borders! How appalling! Can Trump do it anyway?? Veto perhaps? Then they would need how many to override a veto?? (sorry, I am old and had my Government [at least I DID have Government classes!!] classes over 50 years ago)
Anyone know offhand how many of them are up for re-election in 2020? I’m guessing none, i.e. gutless.
Same ‘ol snakes...just a different day ;-(
It will be vetoed and the veto will be sustained.
Corruption is bipartisan.
What’s Rand Paul doing there? He’s usually a good guy.
Roy Blunt, Susan Collins, and Mike Lee are the other 3. So disappointed in Mike Lee & Rand Paul, but not surprised.
Names pls.
Under the National Emergencies Act, a resolution ending the declaration needed only a simple majority to clear the Senate, making it likely to be approved. But underscoring the broad swath of concern about Trump’s actions among the Senate GOP caucus, 11 Republican senators voted to nix the declaration.
*********************************************
So there’s no confusion, this resolution passed the Senate in September and was later vetoed by the President. Today’s vote was to override the veto. The VETO OVERRIDE FAILED so TRUMP’S DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY ON THE BORDER still STANDS.
Today was a good day that the RINOs virtue signaling votes couldn’t spoil.
They needed 67 senators to override the veto .... not even close.
Corruption is bipartisan.
Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney, Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey and Roger Wicker.

All Bush League Republicans.
They want to keep the borders open and complete the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) with amnesty.
Every time I start to find reason to respect Rand Paul he sells out and sends me back without passing go and without collecting $200. Unbelievable Rino. He is a fraud, a fraud, fraud!
“Under the National Emergencies Act, a resolution ending the declaration needed only a simple majority to clear the Senate, making it likely to be approved.

I’m not following. I thought a two-thirds majority in the Senate was required. They got a simple majority but that didn’t override Trump’s declaration.
Also, the headline says 10 rinos voted to end the declaration but the excerpt only listed 7.
And why did not the other 41 Republicans filibuster it and demand a super-majority of 60 votes like the Democrats do on all of the votes?
Rob Portman is finished
