Eight Republican Senators, led by Mike Lee, have signed a statement vowing to no longer cooperate with Democrats on anything after Trump’s outrageous conviction yesterday in New York.
Here’s the statement, h/t Legal Insurrection:
Strongly worded statements are not enough.
Those who turned our judicial system into a political cudgel must be held accountable.
We are no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations, and we invite all concerned Senators to join our stand. pic.twitter.com/H0CzIjXgwC

This could bring the Senate to a crawl when ‘unanimous consent’ is required for something.
I like it and I hope more Republicans join their effort.
