The authors of each of the resolutions were senators-democrats: Michael Bennet, Chris Van Hollen, Dick Durbin, Richard Blumental and Peter Velch. They were also joined by an independent senator Bernie Sanders.
The leader of the democratic minority in Senate Chuck Sumer has supported resolutions.
In the Senate meeting room, he stressed that these resolutions “confirm the basic two -party principles”, which should be supported by both Democrats and Republicans.
