'I cannot endorse a precedent that I know future left-wing presidents will exploit to advance radical policies that will erode economic and individual freedoms,' Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, has said.
Vice President Mike Pence has implored Republican senators to oppose a resolution passed in the House that seeks to block the national emergency declaration issued by President Donald Trump in an apparent bid to get funding for his long-promised U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Senator Lisa Murkowski Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said she planned to vote for the resolution as long as it was not amended to include any extraneous items, according to Politico. "I want to make sure that the resolution of disapproval is exactly what I think it is, because if it is as I understand it to be, I will likely be supporting the resolution to disapprove of the action," Murkowski said in a statement provided to The Associated Press.
