House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement that called signing the amicus brief an act of election subversion . She also reprimanded Wenstrup and the other House members who supported the lawsuit : The 126 Republican Members that signed onto this lawsuit brought dishonor to the House . Instead of upholding their oath to support and defend the Constitution , they chose to subvert the Constitution and undermine public trust in our sacred democratic institutions .
