Romney to vote against Trump's emergency declaration
The Hill ^ | 3-14-2019 | Jordain Carney

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Thursday that he will oppose President Trump's emergency declaration to build the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

"I will vote today for the resolution of disapproval. This is a vote for the Constitution and for the balance of powers that is at its core," Romney said in a statement.

Romney is the sixth Republican senator to say he will vote for the resolution of disapproval, which is getting a vote in the Senate later Thursday.

Wicker and Blunt are also YES. Tillis has changed his mind, and will vote NO.

Mitt is a good liar and deceiver. That makes him a perfect fit for the GOP which does the same things to its voting based every cycle.

From Rush’s Famous Quotes (3/6/19)

“The president of the United States does not even have to declare a national emergency. He can rely on existing federal law to stop all immigration today on the basis that there is a crisis, that there is an invasion. He can site any number of reasons for it, but he doesn’t even have to do that. The law permits him singularly to decide whether or not there is a crisis or danger at the border.”

Tillis switched his vote to support POTUS. What a lily livered careerist. LOL.

and the law will be immediately challenged by some judge-shopped Rat appointed Judge. It will need to go to the USSC.
We can’t risk that until we have one more set. Not sure Roberts can be trusted.

What is with the Mormons? Romney, Lee and that Evan guy that ran against President Trump?

Real pack of never-Trumpers out of Utah.

Nasty things weren't said about him out of thin air.
Peruse the archives of the Mass Resistance website.

Romney's administration as Governor of Massachusetts literally pioneered the use of elementary schools to teach small children radical sexual agendas.

This wasn't just a he said she said expose either, they displayed samples of the materials and video footage of lectures.

Romney had sanctuary cities way back during his term, and the open borders activists on this term ran a smear campaign to portray Patriots who understand the threat illegal voters pose to the Republic as “purists.” Insisting that not voting for Romney was voting for Obama.

Had Romney won, there would have been no Trump, and probably a candidate ¡YEB! One side of the unitary had to be unable to win in order for a nationalist to seize the nomination from the progressive socialist - Neocon socialist pendulum.

Hey, it takes good character to admit that on a public forum! I held my nose and voted for him as well.
