***The group of eight Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, accused the White House of making “a mockery of the rule of law,” and said they would not support any political or judicial nominees, any “expedited” Democratic legislation, or authorize an increase in funding for non-security related agencies within the administration***

Yes, this is the stand up Senate protest that I have mentioned elsewhere. I wish the House had this sort of resolve. The ruling autocracy needs to feel legitimate organized popular resistance to their abuses of the Constitution. The way to settle our differences is at the ballot box, not endless petty court fights.

***Where’s Rand Paul?***

This sort of individual acts of courage may visibly separate the rams from the sheep. We will see...

IIRC Rand Paul has not endorsed President Trump.
