Ted Cruz throws a tantrum...



All Cruz knows how to do is disrupt.

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 nominee—executive or judicial—outside 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.

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.
