Ken Cuccinelli said, “The notion that one shouldn’t fight to protect the Constitution in the acts of Congress is pretty appalling, and God forbid we make them do it on a Saturday and stay late. That was really childish and sort of disgusting to watch.” “What was even more disgusting is the 20 Republicans who didn’t vote with Ted Cruz to declare the president’s executive amnesty unconstitutional, even though in the last six weeks they’ve all said it is,” Cuccinelli said. “Heritage Action has done a good job of compiling their statements to that effect, and yet they voted the other way, probably because they were upset about being dragged in on a Saturday.” The following is a list of the 20 Republicans who joined the Democrats in voting to reject Cruz’s point of order and ignore the constitutional issues with Obama’s executive amnesty: Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. Dan Coats, R-Ind. Thad Cochran, R-Miss. Susan Collins, R-Maine Bob Corker, R-Tennessee John Cornyn, R-Texas Mike Enzi, R-Wyo. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah Dean Heller, R-Nev. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. Mark Kirk, R-Ill. John McCain, R-Ariz. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska Pat Toomey, R-Pa. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. After a very dramatic effort to pass the “cromnibus” and avoid a government shutdown in the House two days earlier, Senate leaders in both parties were eager to avoid another funding cliffhanger. Cuccinelli sees that as another GOP failure and said his group will remember this vote when it evaluates Senate races in the future.
