This guy is following the law and upholding the oath of office that he took. You apparantly, based on your comments, don't think he should do that. Might have some impact on the republican party. Must not do anything that may impact re-election, it's politics, so morals and principles are not needed, just like the democrats.

The same can be said about politicians from any party and any ideology. In politics, how something is being done can be just as, or more important than what is being done. If he upholds the highest principles and morals and fails to gain public support, then he is nothing more than a principled and moral loser. And, if he hurts the party in the process, he becomes a principled and moral liability.
