Republicans didn't vote in lockstep with Republican presidents, not even Ronald Reagan. But even now, in this hyper-partisan era, there comes a time when our elected leaders must put country over party. Whatever their views on the border situation -- which I agree is serious -- Republicans should oppose the President's declaration. If we are serious about our constitutional values, we can't complain only about actions by the other party. We have to apply consistent principles whenever we have a president from our own party as well.
