I would much rather have a Republican pull a "Thom Tillis" and announce he has chosen not to seek reelection, so he can vote "no" on this bill (I hope) than to have a Republican congress person just vote "yes" on the bill to avoid any trouble. We must recognize that not all congress people are brave enough to risk their lives and livelihood for a principle, in which case allowing someone else to step into the seat and take on the challenge is the best solution. Challenging the current regime in such a public forum is definitely dangerous. That's where we are in this country today, sadly. We have become lawless. There is little protection.
