Lamar Alexander to Trump: Reconsider emergency declaration or risk GOP rebellion
NY Post, Feb 28, 2019, Bob Fredericks
Tennessee GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander told President Trump on Thursday that he should reconsider his decision to declare a national emergency at the southern border or face a possible Republican rebellion.
Alexander, who is retiring, refused to say whether he would join three other Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — in voting against the declaration.
With the Senate split 53-47, including two Independents who caucus with the Dems, the resolution would go down to defeat if a fourth Republican joined them.

NO!
Keep the declaration, and fight and fight.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Let the Republican Congressional traitors be exposed!
