On behalf of our Constitution, here are powerful quotes by leading Republicans - Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Pat Toomey - opposing Republicans in Congress who intend object on January 6 to President-elect Joe Biden being certified as the winner of the Presidential Election.
Also quoted here is an excerpt of the statement by all former Secretaries of Defense. (All the quotes are in the first 3 minutes of this MSNBC segment)
A few other Republican Senators have since indicated they will take similar stances, despite the political pressure to do otherwise or consequence to self-interest; when this is so, it is a victory for the deeper conscience, for the greater self and for the country.
