There were thirteen Republican senators who put the good of the country ahead of the partisan objectives of their party leadership.
All honor to them:
Alexander (R-TN), Bennett (R-UT), Brown (R-MA), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), Corker (R-TN), Gregg (R-NH), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Lugar (R-IN), Murkowski (R-AK), Snowe (R-ME) and Voinovich (R-OH).
I note, though, that only one Republican senator from a state that was formerly a member of the Confederacy voted to ratify the treaty. I doubt that they objected because of concerns about the treaty; they objected because ratifying the treaty would be construed as a win for the President.
Sedition runs ever deep in their veins.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Umm ... perhaps you forget that Tennessee was also on the wrong side of the "late unpleasantness".
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, as a native Tennessean it was a pleasant surprise to see Alexander and Corker do the right thing for once.
