No filibuster is required. They just need to remain in session. Then “Bork” whoever jug ears nominates. That took a year.

At least someone is willing to raise the Conservative banner while being derided by McConnell, McCain, Graham, et al.

Good!

[stratboy]

That is his job, isn’t it?

[chris37]

Why would he need to?

Don’t bring it up for a vote.

If it’s Sri Srinivasan, Cruz already voted YES for him once.

“His Senate confirmation hearing on April 10, 2013 was uneventful.[17] His nomination was reported to the floor of the Senate on May 16, 2013, by a unanimous vote of 18 ayes to 0 nays. A final vote on his nomination took place on May 23, 2013, where he was confirmed 97–0.”

Too bad he didn’t do that for the Omnibus spending monstrosity that funded Planned Parenthood and Syrian refugees among every other Obama agenda item.

Wrong grandstand?

That would have shown leadership and courage, but Christmas break and campaigning were more important.

I wonder what he would do if Obama nominated him? He said he would filibuster any nominee.

[Sacajaweau]

Will you read Green Eggs and Ham again....Pleeeeeez.

We don't need a stupid filibuster taking up every ones time.

Just don't go into recess. Only a few have to be there to prevent a recess appointment.

[1035rep]

Good start. There are other things they can do to stop Obama. They need to use every tool at their disposal.

[RginTN]

Trump will trash Cruz for doing so just like he trashed Cruz for taking on the libs in the GOP

[annieokie]

I am sure CRUZ would do that without hesitation, that is how much he cares about America and the values he holds most important and to all of us as well.

Political value, who knows, but he will do the right thing regardless. That is just who he is.

[TomasUSMC]

Yeah...well if he wants to stay up all night and talk to himself and call that a filibuster, fine....but it won’t fool anyone.

Now if he did something like organize 20 or so republicans to filibuster, that might be something.

Hey why not see if they can open a criminal investigation into this “natural” death....

Thanks for the article posted!!!

Welcome to FR!!

Some of the posts here re: Cruz place me in the state of puzzlement!!

He is criticized for not getting a consensus since being in congress.

He is criticized when he does make a stand against the establishment.

Seem to remember an old saying “D***ed if you do and d***ed if you don’t.”

Think some people need to be gruntled!!!

Again WELCOME to OUR dysfunctional group!!!
