They can abrogate their responsibility because they might not get elected next time around?? I agree that they would be taking a chance and that it would probably not gain anything but not so sure that is a reason to ignore that responsibility...At this point the trumplicans can absolutely ignore the law and snub their noses at the laws that the rest of us must follow..at some point they will actually overthrow the rule of law and take over the entire government, they become more and more emboldened each time they step over the latest line and continue on to ignore the next one...
