    12 GOP senators, led by Orrin Hatch, have just sent a letter to AG Jeff Sessions calling for a halt to the family separations at the border (There are 51 GOP senators in all, and Hatch has shopped the letter to colleagues all day for possible signatures.)pic.twitter.com/OLuO4HReLk

        The 12 Republicans signed their own LETTER, NOT signed on to support/co-sponsor #S3036 which all 49 Democrats and Independents support.

        Exactly. I'm sure the point was that IF they would just sign #S3036, it would pass!!

        Why don’t those @gop senators sign on to the Dems bill? It’s reasonable, narrowly drafted and not controversial. A letter to Sessions won’t do squat. Have some balls @gop and sign the Dems bill!

        So Hatch et al are asking Trump to relieve them of their responsibility to legislate this issue by using his phone & pen. The very thing they/we (rightly) criticized 0bama for. I want to be shocked, but alas....

        It was a Trump Administration decision to implement this “zero tolerance” approach. The Trump Administration could easily reverse that. Yes, Congress needs to change the law too, but Hatch isn’t asking for some crazy Executive Order.

        @SenCoryGardner Thank you! Now please follow-up with emergency legislation that clearly forbids the practice. Perhaps sign on with Feinstein et al?

        According to reports this morning, it was intended to be a bipartisan letter.

        But literally every single Democrat plus the independents have already signed onto #S3036.

        Yes, a much more substantive approach than the Hatch letter, which essentially kicks the can down the road. I can see why they wouldn’t get on board the letter. Curious why Hatch couldn’t enlist more R’s.

        If we can't get full bipartisan support for a bill that prevents the US Government from behaving like Nazis and ripping children away from their parents with no plan ever reuniting them again--then maybe this country doesn't deserve to be great again!

        This all smells like an attempt to fire Sessions and then Rosenstein, Mueller.

        They need to stop referring to Sessions as honorable. He's done nothing to deserve that distinction.

        So @SenatorIsakson whose staff is telling people he doesn’t support the policy, can’t even be bothered to sign a letter? Wow, he really is pathetic. Way to follow your faith, man.
