Republican Ben Sasse drew heat from conservatives for defending Trump's national emergency

Politics گذشتہ کل
Nebraska's Ben Sasse was criticized by some conservative thinkers when he sided with Trump's national emergency by calling a resolution of disapproval against it "politically motivated." Some critics of Trump's national emergency, including 12 Republicans who broke with Trump on Thursday, suggested they were voting "upon their conscience."

I admire . I consider him a friend and the wisest senator since Moynihan. He’s earned the benefit of the doubt from me. But I’m hard pressed to see how this isn’t merely politics.

Credit to the brave 12 GOP Senators -- AND the 13 House Republicans who stood up for the Constitution. Rubio, I think, deserves special praise. He has had great influence w/ Trump on some important issues. He could have easily used that to justify voting 'no' on this resolution.

Romney on Trump: "He would rather have me vote in the other direction, but I let him know that for me this is a matter of defending the Constitution." Asked if he were worried about backlash from Trump, Romney said Trump "recognizes senators will vote upon their conscience."

Amazing. All of Ben Sasse's tilting at respectability, all of his claims to be and want something better - couldn't bring himself to mean it.

Is this really that surprising? I feel like "anti-Trump" cred given out to certain Republicans feels way more performative than actual practice would reflect.

Whoa.... voted AGAINST terminating the emergency declaration.

You can say that the Ben Sasse vote on the emergency declaration today was off brand. But, in fact, it was quite on brand.

Treating this as Sasse’s announcement that he’s running for reelection. There’s no other possible explanation.

The fundamental problem for Ben Sasse is that this is discordant. It’s off brand. It goes against everything he allegedly stands for. If Sasse isn’t the guy who (eloquently) takes a principled stand on this, why does he even exist as a political entity? What’s his raison d'être?

Sasse’s vote today makes it more likely he will be re-elected, but less likely he will be admired or respected. Trump creates these ironic, mutually exclusive choices.

If Ben Sasse is allegedly one of the few remaining "moderate Republicans" but he keeps voting with Trump and supporting his agenda, then what exactly is a "moderate Republican?" Sincere question.

The damage the Ben Sasses of the world do with votes like this isn't a mirage. When you make "principles above all" your brand, you lose your right to go along to get along. Otherwise you just convince people "principles above all" is a bit for suckers.

The Big Cave - The Bulwark
There are two ways to look at Thursday’s Senate vote to block President Trump’s attempt to build a wall on the southern border without congressional approval by declaration of a national emergency. On the one hand, Congress laudably stood up for its constitutional prerogatives as the country’s lawmaking body, rebuking the president for his executive […]
