Shame on Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Dan Newhouse for attaching their names to the blatantly treasonous attempt by the Texas attorney general to overturn the last election. They, along with all the other representatives and senators who supported this frivolous lawsuit, should be charged with treason under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, the one they took an oath to defend. They took the oath to defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States, not a loyalty oath to Donald Trump. What they did was treason by any measure.
