We should know their names


Nancy Pelosi: "The 126 Republican Members that signed onto this lawsuit brought dishonor to the House. Instead of upholding their oath to support and defend the Constitution, they chose to subvert the Constitution and undermine public trust in our sacred democratic institutions."



That they chose to support trump in an unwinnable, frivolous lawsuit is one thing.  (This after he already lost 50 <or was it 51? I've lost count>).  


That they chose to stand against democracy is another.
