> How many of them will drop support because it's the right thing to do vs. the political thing to do?
Hopefully the same number who initiated support because it was the political thing to do in the first place.
The better question to ask: who in congress has both read and understand the implications of the bills? I'm inclined to think that number is ridiculously small.
I have come to feel this is unrealistic... politics happen. Right and Wrong are mostly subjective..... they always will be..... an entire nation can slowly be turned to accept wholesale genocide as "right".
Whether they chose on their own or based on political pressure from constituents, the public at large needs to be more aware and engaged in what the people they elect are up to if they want to be heard. staying silent and expecting everyone to do what you think is right is not realistic.... though you, of course, try to elect someone who will.
This will crop up again unless we can get more viciously ethical people representing us.
