Ted Cruz Vows to Damage Texas Courts in Response to Obama's Immigration Action
Submitted by Paul Gordon on Thursday, 11/20/2014 3:45 pm
In response to President Obama's upcoming action on immigration, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has vowed to retaliate by sabotaging the federal court system in his own state. No, that's not how he phrased it, but that would be the impact of his vow. Yesterday in Politico, Cruz wrote how he thinks the Senate should respond to the president's policy decisions on immigration enforcement: If the president announces executive amnesty, the new Senate majority leader who takes over in January should announce that the 114th Congress will not confirm a single nomineeexecutive or judicialoutside of vital national security positions, so long as the illegal amnesty persists. While such a refusal to perform one of the basic functions of the Senate would harm the entire nation, the damage in Texas would be particularly severe. No state has more judicial vacancies than the Lone Star State. No state even comes close.

Should make for a good 2016.

(9,148 posts)7. Hey STFUP Cruz, President Obama is NOT offering Amnesty.
But I realize Cruz had to spout something in the news to sound relevant.
Of course, his entire base doesn't care to know what Obama is actually proposing &
Crusty Cruz knows this.
This statement makes Cruz a liar.
