That misses the point of my question. Why wasn't Cruz nearly as up in arms about John Kerry as he was about Chuck Hagel?
Opposing Hagel's appointment to the death while allowing Obama's other picks (who are much worse) to slide by makes it look as though Cruz and others are acting on a personal vendetta against Hagel as opposed to ideology or principle.
The question is was Ted Cruz even on the Committee who “vetted” Kerry?
