Sen Mike Lee Appears to be Firmly on the Dark Side - Another Bad Vote Sen Mike Lee (R - UT) has done it again. He & Susan Collins were the 2 Republicans voting with the Democrats against POTUS today. The Senate voted 51–48 to adopt changing the cloture time (basically filibustering to delay a vote) for executive branch nominees from 30 hours to 2 hours. Democrats have been using this tactic to s t r e t c h out the time to get confirmations done. Despite the efforts of Lee & Collins, the measure passed & there are now only 2 hours cloture before moving to a vote. 2 weeks ago, Lee was one of the 5 Republicans who voted with the Democrats in their resolution against President Trump's emergency declaration regarding our southern border. The others were Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (KY) and Thom Tillis (NC). UTAH - WHAT THE HELL? Just because they're both Mormons does not mean they are constitutionally conservative. You've given us Mike Lee & Mitt Romney. Please pay attention in the future with your votes. Lee & Collins wanted the insanity to continue with the 30 hours of BS. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/433931-lee-fifth-gop-senator-to-vote-against-trumps-border-declaration https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/mcconnell-trump-nominees-faster-rule-change
