Any republican going along with it is basically death nails for their future career. They are going to be spineless and hide for 12 days and hope this things pass. There is no upside for them to go along with it publicly (at least in the current republican party).

Of course, that means they rather be spineless than doing the right thing as a human being and for the country.
