OT The secret vote on Liz Cheney this week, is that secret from

Secret votes are for people that lack courage to say what they really
think. That includes many of the voters in this case. They are afraid
to buck the lost leader.

Ms. Cheney, who is facing a vote Wednesday morning that is almost
certain to succeed in ousting her from House Republicans’ No. 3 post,
declared on Tuesday that the nation was facing a “never seen before”
threat in a former president who provoked the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and
who “has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the
election was stolen from him.”

“Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” Ms. Cheney
said. “I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in
silence, while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule
of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our
democracy.”

The Wyoming Republican’s remarkable broadside illustrated her
unrepentant response to the effort to dethrone her. She has cast her
almost certain expulsion from the leadership ranks as a “turning point”
for her party and told allies that the leadership post is simply not
worth having if it requires her to lie.
