Collins, McCain. Flake, Hatch, Sasse ( did I miss any (R)s? to differing extents. I'm happy my 2 AZ (R) Senators said SOMETHING at least, unlike almost all of their cohort. This encourages me to continue calling/e-mailing them.

are silent.

Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio.

Both like the prestige and money too much to rock their little boats.

I can't vote for marco, but bill is coming up for re election, he will have to answer questions about this.

shocked but very pleased that Sasse spoke up. Republicans who go against the flow in red states usually don't last long, but at least he did the right thing here.
