Cruz calls on Congress to block presidential nominees over executive action
Fox News ^ | November 23, 2014

Posted on 11/23/2014 9:43:12 AM PST by jazusamo

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday that President Obama refuses to accept that only Congress has the authority to establish federal immigration laws and that members should block the president’s nominees and some funding until he rescinds his executive action on the issue.

“This is a stunning and sad display by the president,” Cruz, a Republican, told “Fox News Sunday.” “We need to impose real consequence.”

Cruz suggested, as he has since Obama announced the executive action Thursday, that Congress should take action next year when Republicans, who already control the House, will also have the majority in the Senate.

I don't believe Obola has signed and EO on immigration.

He just went out there and said some stuff.

Now he is now sitting back to enjoy the chaos.

You may be correct but a big deal was made in the media about him signing in Las Vegas, of course most of the enemedia will print what he tells them to.

Not to brag, but my recommendation, FROM THE OUTSET, has been that NO JUDGES (and possibly no others) be confirmed, until this lawlessness is undone.

That means if there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, then the president is simply out of luck.

I’m glad Cruz has picked up on it, I was hoping that someone would.

YES!! That is what I am talking about!

The only way to deal with a psychopath is to block every single effort to do harm.

Yea, it’s an opening. Ideally Obama DOES NOT back down, Cruz wins in 2016, and gets to fill the bench with conservatives, and Cruz gets to invalidate this ‘Executive Order’, while, at the same time, having a REALLY NICE database of who is here illegally, so he can start cleaning up that problem.

Maybe, instead of putting our tails between our legs, we should look at the POSITIVE SIDE, for once.

Obama signed the unconstitutional order. it’s many pages long

some illegal at home depot working as a day laborer for cash now can go take an American’s job as a truck driver , retail, restaurant, a bank. mutiply x 5 million (or the real number 15 million) . 5 million is an estimate of how many of these type are out there . the media lies . hope you don’t know any Americans with jobs

the media hid that Obama signed it . almost nothing out there about it. but this monster did sign it

No problem. Obama will just confirm his appointees with more Executive Orders. Who or what is to stop him?

it’s many pages of orders. and Obama signed them all. same effect to give worker permits and to make voters of not 5 million but close to 20 million illegals. so you are helping obama saying what they are saying . hope you don’t have a job that an illegal can take

Senator Cruz needs to try to convince the Fools on The Hill that they have more power than the boy in the White House does. They need to use it.
