Thom Tillis was thinking about voting against Pete Hegseth - which would have killed the nomination - but then he started receiving death threats.
He then voted to confirm.
If death threats change your vote, you have no business being in Congress.

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.
For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

South Korea was prepared to deal with their dictator because they have better laws, which we will fail to fix here if we keep blaming Garland instead of the system he was bound by. Jack Smith is trying to tell us. We should listen. www.muellershewrote.com/p/between-th...
Between the Lines of Jack Smith's Final Report
The Jack smith report does more than outline Trump's crimes; it lays bare the delays inherent in the system - and if we don’t address them - no AG will be able to hold future despots accountable.
