Graham and Paul as well. McConnell has violated his oath to the Constitution (I know he has done it repeatedly) in this situation where loyalty should be to the rule of law not to one man. He has violated the trust of the American People in deciding that he is going to act as a defender of the president rather than a Trier of Fact who decides based on the oath to do "impartial justice based on the laws and Constitution".
