By a shocking 18-vote margin, the Republican controlled Senate voted to terminate President Trump’s arguably unconstitutional, but probably legal, national emergency. It was a bold and surprising stand by some unusual suspects, such as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and a confirmation from others, like Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, that their promises to protect the Constitution are more than empty words.

Then there’s Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb. Sasse has spent the better part of the last three years pontificating to anyone who’ll listen to him about the unique threat Trump poses to the office of the presidency.
