(National Pulse) Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Ron Johnson have joined eight other Senate Republicans in signing a pledge, organized by Senator Mike Lee, to block legislation not essential to American security in response to Donald Trump’s sham conviction in Manhattan.
“The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways,” the pledge states. “As a Senate Republican conference, we are unwilling to aid and abet this White in its project to tear this country apart. To that end, we will not 1) allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare; 2) vote to confirm this administration’s political and judicial appointees; and 3) allow expedited consideration and passage of Democrat legislation or authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”
