Well the good news is that most congresscritters do, and Trump's fake-ass emergency was rejected.
41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.
Remember when executive overreach was a thing?

I won't. I try to never assume a congressman will vote their conscience on anything, ever. I'm quite sure he was either getting compensated in some way for this or didn't want to lose a perfectly good rallying cry by actually accomplishing something from the perspective of his voters.

They might give it a shot in their first term, of course it all goes out the window when they suffer the consequences. Voters don't care, so this what we get. To bad everybody's still playing this republican/democrat bullshit.

It's like highschool football in the middle of the country. You yell at the ref even when you just watched your neighbor's kid take his helmet off and smash someone in the knee with it. Tribalism at its most simplistic.
