Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., told Fox News on Monday night that he voted against a resolution to stop President Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border because "the president is absolutely right" and the emergency declaration "is not a close call." "I think there are three different issues here," Sasse told "Special Report with Bret Baier." Twelve Senate Republicans joined the Democrats' effort Thursday to block Trump's emergency declaration, including the party's 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Sasse told Fox News that the 1976 National Emergencies Act used by Trump to justify the emergency declaration "is an unbelievably broad law and I think we should fix it ... "So, we should be distinguishing between analysis of big problems, emergency response and debates about what you do down the road."
