The problem? Congressional Republicans are, as of late, historically weak. <\/p>\n<p>They never seem to tire of capitulating to the Democrat\u2019s radical policy whims. They refuse to hold tyrannical bureaucrats and politicized departments accountable for acting unjustly. And they refuse to leverage their power to stop bad-faith policies in their tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Over and over and over again, the GOP establishment and its allies have burned Republican voters in favor of protecting their power.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week, 12 Senate Republicans joined their Democrat colleagues in <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/29\/12-gop-senators-help-democrats-erode-americans-right-to-act-on-religious-convictions-about-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">passing legislation<\/a> that will sic LGBT activists on religious Americans. Those dozen GOPers didn\u2019t just betray their colleagues, who warned them against eroding Americans\u2019 First Amendment rights, by voting for the bill. They betrayed their constituents, who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/28\/their-constituents-oppose-the-gay-marriage-bill-so-whom-do-these-12-gop-senators-think-theyre-representing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overwhelmingly rejected<\/a> the idea that the government could persecute them based on their deeply held beliefs about marriage. <\/p>\n<p>Support for the ill-named Respect for Marriage Act was not an isolated sin. One day after they handed religious Americans over to the mob, those same Republicans began scrambling with other GOPers to pass Democrats\u2019 omnibus spending package, which foots <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/30\/republicans-christmas-gift-to-voters-is-helping-democrats-pass-a-major-omnibus-spending-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all sorts of inflationary spending<\/a> through 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, the GOP establishment\u2019s more rational colleagues warned their so-called allies, in a letter, against throwing taxpayer dollars at unpopular conquests such as the proxy war in Ukraine. Especially before the newly elected Republican House of Representatives could weigh in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn November 8, 2022, the American people made their voices heard at the ballot box.
