Conservatives are conservatives in part because they understand that the rule of law and adherence to principle matter more than political expediency.

Most Republican senators β including, most notably, Nebraska's Ben Sasse, Texas' Ted Cruz, and North Carolina's Thom Tillis β voted against a resolution to overturn Trumpβs emergency declaration to fund his border wall with money Congress had appropriated for other purposes.
