So #Republicans who have lectured us FOR YEARS that the Govt/President "should not pick winners and losers" in a #FreeMarket economy are suddenly OK with #Trump using the Justice Department to BOOST #FoxNews corporation's bottom line?

Republican Senator #RandPaul of Kentucky said he’ll vote to block President Donald #Trump’s declaration of a #nationalemergency on the U.S.-Mexico border, a move that’s likely to provide enough votes for the measure to pass the Senate and draw Trump’s first veto. The House voted Feb. 26 to block the #emergencydeclaration, but without enough votes to override a promised presidential veto. Only 13 Republicans joined all Democrats in backing the measure. The Senate has 18 calendar days from that date to consider the House measure or act on its own version.
In addition to Paul, three other Republican senators have said they’ll vote with Senate Democrats on a resolution terminating the declaration - Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, and Susan Collins of Maine. With all members of the Democratic caucus apparently backing the resolution, that should be enough votes for the GOP-controlled chamber to reject the president’s action.

and the Republican claim to be the law and order party. when it is one of theirs it is always OK.
When President Donald #Trump's longtime fixer #MichaelCohen testified last week that his former boss was a 'racist' and 'con man' who routinely skirts the law, Republicans showed little interest in following up on his claims. Acquiescence to Trump is now the defining trait of the Republican Party more than two years into his presidency - overwhelming and at times erasing principles that conservatives viewed as the foundation of the party for more than a half century.
All of it has left Trump firmly in control. Most potential 2020 primary challengers sit on the sidelines as the GOP establishment rallies around Trump's reelection. House Minority Leader #KevinMcCarthy, who once gave Trump a jar of hand-selected Starbursts candy as a gift, is a Trump booster and confidant. Former GOP foes in the Senate, such as #LindseyGraham of South Carolina and #RandPaul of Kentucky, flatter him and are regulars at his golf courses. Any high-profile voices in the party objecting to Trump are increasingly scattered or silent, while the 'Never Trump' faction from the 2016 campaign has all but fallen into obscurity.

As Special Counsel #RobertMueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election progressed over the past two years, GOP lawmakers sought to defend President Donald #Trump in part by digging into the investigation itself, something historians say is unprecedented in American politics. Historians say this marks a new era of hyperpartisanship that will likely erode trust in traditionally independent law enforcement agencies.
Since #Democrats took control of the House of Representatives in January, Republican lawmakers have found these investigations curtailed. But unconfirmed reports that Mueller may be finishing up his work soon have renewed questions about how Congress will respond if Trump is found to have been involved in some wrongdoing. The rhetoric has been remarkably similar to the Watergate era. Many Republicans stuck by Nixon until irrefutable evidence emerged of his guilt: a taped conversation in which Nixon told his chief of staff to ask the acting director of the FBI to halt the investigation into the Watergate break-in.
