Now, ten Republican senators announced on Friday that they are suspending all cooperative legislative efforts with Democrats, accusing the White House of engaging in actions that are "Un-American" and making a "Mockery" of the rule of law.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted her colleagues for their inaction against the Democrats.
She wrote, "Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms. Many Republicans would just quote the Constitution as they are marched to the firing squad. When good men do nothing, evil prevails." As More Americans Consider Gold For Their Retirement Accounts, One 12-Page Pamphlet Tells the Story of God, Gold and Glory On Friday, Senator Mike Lee echoed Greene's sentiments, emphasizing the need for more than just verbal condemnation.
"Strongly worded statements are not enough," Lee asserted on Friday.
"Those who turned our judicial system into a political cudgel must be held accountable. We are no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations, and we invite all concerned Senators to join our stand." The defiant stance was formalized in a letter initially signed by eight Senators, including Mike Lee, Tommy Tuberville, Marsha Blackburn, Roger Marshall, JD Vance, Eric Schmitt, Rick Scott, and Marco Rubio.
The senators have vowed to block any non-security related funding increases for the administration, oppose all political and judicial appointments, and refuse expedited consideration of Democrat-led legislation unless it directly pertains to national security.
"UPDATE: salute to for joining our pledge! Democrats don't get to wreck our judicial system and expect any cooperation on their legislative priorities," Sen. Lee wrote.
