Three Members Of The U.S. Senate Inform Leaders Schumer & McConnell They Will "object to any motions..."

To move legislation in the United States Senate, knowledge of and use of procedure is critical, particularly when there are 50 members who generally vote with the Democratic Caucus and 50 members who generally vote with the Republican Caucus.

From the letter: “We believe the Cuban people deserve no less than the most rudimentary foundations of a free society and therefore, we object to any motions of unanimous consent requests regarding legislation that amends U.S. law towards Cuba.”

On 10 March 2021, three members of the Republican Caucus of the United States Senate wrote to The Honorable Charles Schumer (D- New York), the Majority Leader of the United States Senate, and The Honorable Mitch McConnell (R- Kentucky), the Minority Leader of the United States Senate. They are:

The Honorable Marco Rubio (R- Florida), the Ranking Member of the Committee on Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues; and Ranking Minority Member of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
The Honorable Ted Cruz (R- Texas)
The Honorable Rick Scott (R- Florida)
