I'm not sure what a senator (apart from a committee chair) can do: I think we are at the South Korea stage where we need to fill the streets. Or the Romania stage of needing a great public booing to topple a tyrant
--Vow not to vote for ANYTHING till constitutional order is restored; press colleagues to do same
--Commit to holding lawbreakers accountable once order IS restored
--Exercise oversight (e.g. by going to federal depts and demanding access) #MEpolitics
HOWEVER given how much people are clamoring for leadership and not getting it from Schumer, Jeffries etc it represented a significant upgrade/improvement. #MEpolitics
