Congress is led by Republicans, and they're gonna rubberstamp Trump's executive orders.

The outrage over this is coming from not only Democrats but Independents, Evangelicals, veterans, active duty military, etc. The level of pressure to lawmakers will be overwhelming and from all sides. They will have no choice.
