Cruz is providing the leadership in the void left by the cowardly GOPe.
It really makes the neo-nobility mad that the peasants own land.
Ted Cruz is a leader.
Carl Lenin is a demonicrat party hack.
Isn’t Combover Carl retiring in Jan? (only 36 yrs in the senate LOL)
Amazed that he’s not the typical senator desiring to go direct from the Capitol building to the mortuary.
Ted Cruz, Leader of the Republican Senate, True Statesman!
1) Carl Levin who has a career spanning decades and very little (if any) productive efforts to show for it and
2) A bill to appropriate funds for defense including elements of national parks and oil drilling.
Every time congress convenes it is time to take another serious look at the Enumerated Powers Act proposed by John Shadegg of Arizona.
The Enumerated Powers Act is a proposed bill in the United States House of Representatives which requires that legislation passed by Congress cite those provisions of the Constitution that give them the power to pass such legislation. The bill has been proposed by Congressman John Shadegg in every Congress since the 104th, and frequently draws many co-sponsors. It has never been passed. However, at the beginning of the 105th Congress, significant portions of the bill were adopted into House rules. The bill also calls for looking back at past bills for possible nullification if they cannot be proven constitutionally solid.
1. National Defense Authorization Act ,
2. authorizes Defense Department operations.
Which is ALL it Should do, Nothing Else.
Now what exactly does this have to do with “National Defense”??
“250,000 acres of new wilderness designations; 400,000 acres of land taken out of commercial use; and 15 new national parks or park expansions.”
They Cannot take care of the Land They control today, and it should Belong to the STATES!!
“the Energy panel supports the package” Who Cares?? Abolish this Useless Agency!!
That’s right, it is because “As it has traditionally done”
Which is the Problem.
DUMP MCCONNELL
Truth is fast becoming a criminal offense.
It is safer for the president to be a high criminal, than for a senator to call him so.
Pure BS.
The government does NEED any more land.
In fact, the government isn’t supposed to have much land that it isn’t distributing back to the states in the first place.
If we ever get around to an Article V convention, one amendment I would like to see is a limit on the land that the Federal government may own to 10% of the total land mass of the state.
Ted Cruz rocks
"Leading Republicans Doc Hastings and Lisa Murkowski have also touted the package as a balance of land restrictions and development."
If this is such a great idea, supported by a majority, why tuck it into a defense authorization bill, hidden from the eyes of the public????
It is a travesty that Ted Cruz isn’t going to be Majority Leader in a couple of months.
I swear he is the only one in that Frat House that understands the Constitution, and has the guts to stand up to defend it, and us peasants.

10% is way too generous.
I would limit it to 1% That would allow over 30,000 sq miles for the Feds.
Yeah, I like that myself...
CA....
They aren’t cowards. They are complicit elitists. DINOS/RINOS, all communists who want it all, but want us to have nothing.
