Tensions are escalating on Capitol Hill after military strikes in Iran. Michigan representatives are caught in the crossfire, and reactions are heating up.

After President Trump ordered and executed a bombing of Iran over the weekend that was not approved by the U.S. Congress, articles of Impeachment were raised, according to Newsweek.

Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas introduced the articles over what he views as "illegal and unconstitutional" military strikes against Iran. U.S. planes on Saturday struck three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—amid Tehran's war with Israel.

Nobody expected 128 Democrats to vote on the side of Trump in this case.  However, that's exactly what happened.

Michigan lawmakers who voted to block the impeachment articles are receiving lots of backlash on social media.  A great example of this is Hillary Scholten.  Michigan saw this West Michigan resident as a defender of the Constitution.  This is how LVC.org describes her:

Hillary Scholten is an attorney with deep ties in western Michigan who has worked to defend immigrants, those who have faced housing discrimination, and victims of sexual harassment.
