Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) proposed a plan to stop President Obamas administrative amnesty, the first step of which can only be taken by incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.).
Step number one that I have called for is the incoming majority leader should announce that if the president implements this lawless amnesty, that the Senate will not confirm any executive or judicial nominees, other than vital national security positions, for the next two years, unless and until the president ends this lawless amnesty, Cruz told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. If the majority leader would announce that, it would impose real consequences on the president and the administration.
Cruz didnt say if he regards the attorney general as a vital national security position, leaving open the question of whether he wants the GOP to block confirmation of Loretta Lynch, Obamas nominee to replace Attorney General Eric Holder.
The second constitutional power weve got is the power of the purse, Cruz continued. And we should fund, one at a time, the critical priorities of the federal government, but also use the power of the purse to attach riders.

I am in complete agreement. Cruz's primary goal would be to restore our Constitutional Republic.
If anyone doubts that Cruz is the real deal, then I suggest they view a few videos of Cruz's father speaking.
Cruz's father expresses a love and deep reverence of our Country and Constitutional that ALL Rinos fail to express or believe.
It is in Cruz's DNA to revere our Constitution.
“... that the Senate will not confirm any executive or judicial nominees.”
You better not do that ANYWAY! Play Lucy and the football thingy on Odumbo!
Senator Cruz, I admire and respect you as much as is reasonable for any politician. You and I both know the truth is that step 1 of your plan isn't going to happen. Therefore, your plan is invalid. I must ask, what is your Plan B?
“I agree-and btw, youre only the 2nd best in TXI would put Mr. Cruz as the bestLOL!”
I agree.
My moniker is really to say the state is the best, not me.
