Sen. Cruz to Sec. Johnson: Do you Intend to Abide by the Federal Court Order?

Cruz.Senate.Gov ^ | February 24, 2015 | Senator Ted Cruz

[Kenny Bunk]

He has boxed them into the corner on this issue with this letter.

Team Obama is certain of its hold on the Senate. One Federal Judge has placed an order, a more Obama-compliant Federal Judge may stay that order (or try to) to give the Federal Marshals DOJ cover to do nothing. Pending appeal, pending clarification, pending impact assessment, pending pendingpending ... lawyer stuff. Law vs What's Right Scenario.

At this point, Ted's excellent letter is a praiseworthy rhetorical exercise. Could go to reality. Could go to combat. Could go nowhere. This Jeh Johnson is a total Affirmative Action Nincompoop who knows at least on what side his bread is buttered. It ain't buttered by Ted Cruz.

BTW, that letter is clearly racist.

Mitch lets Cruz get away with this?

DC was told to not ignore Federal law and yet they still went ahead with it and so far not a frigging thing has been done.

[Hostage]

No one said anything about Obama. Ted Cruz’ letter was to Jeh Johnson, Head of DHS. Plenty of history exists to back up going after an official in the Executive Branch.

[Hostage]

The letter itself does nothing but form a record. Records are necessary when preparing to take real action. It’s called laying the groundwork.

If DHS doesn’t have to follow court orders why should the state of Alabama in the homo marriage issue. Will someone please make a stand somewhere.

"We get two years of lawlessness..."

Could be a two-way street.

[SharpRightTurn]

“We get two years of lawlessness because Congress will not risk a Federal Government shutdown.”

Exactly.

I do not doubt Ted's bona fides as an attorney. However, please allow me to point out that the Republicans (whatever the Hell they are) have laid enough "groundwork" on Obama to create a new state at least the size of Maine.

One might presume that all of this "groundwork" would prove a useful basis for some kind of action. However, Ted notwithstanding, I see no, that's none whatsoever, Republican Senatorial will to use it aggressively on the floor of that august body.

Reminds me of those Civil War relics they find with 17 musket balls and powder charges loaded, but no one ever pulled the trigger.

Why isn't one Republican Senator at least as angry as Rudy Giuliani, Mitch?

[workerbee]

“We get two years of lawlessness because Congress will not risk a fake, half-assed Federal Government shutdown.”

Fixed.

[rarestia]

All due respect, I do not believe any action will come of this. We are reaching a Bay of Pigs moment. I legitimately believe we are at DEFCON 2 in this country, and we’re a pinprick away from falling off the cliff. Unlike that moment in history, however, I don’t believe we’re going to be pulling away from the precipice.

[MaxMax]

My point is that nothing can be done if Oba decides on his own to ignore the Judge.
It's my understanding that without Congress it's all just hot air. The FBI might
be able to do something, but there again it's under Oba control and Congress
will not act accordingly and show up for the battle for our Liberty.

This is all about Obama no matter who the letter was sent to, or about.

[RedMDer]

Only Three days to go until March!

FReepers, Let's GIT_R_DONE!

[Hostage]

Until that moment arrives, we use and support the Rule of Law.

[Hostage]

Obama is not going to manufacture millions of hologram ID cards himself. He needs bodies to carry out his directives. Those bodies are subject to prosecution and imprisonment.

[Impy]

"Johnson's first name (pronounced "Jay") is taken from a Liberian chief, who reportedly saved his grandfather’s life while Dr. Johnson was on a League of Nations mission to Liberia in 1930"

Sorry, no. "Jeh" is not a real name, it's not even a word. It's 3 letters.

Does he have a brother named "Pof" and sister named "Dep"?

[MaxMax]

Sounds like a good start and a nice threat. They all take an oath.

The Fed employees do not have the same protections, so let those who break the oath/law, pay.
At least until we get an Adult in the WH it seems to be all that can be done.

[itsahoot]

Ted Cruz is laying the groundwork here to nail these guys when they get caught.

He wrote a letter, and we all know how they fear those, next he will get really, really mad.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I see it and pronounce/rhyme it like any execrable twit serving the regime can best be described as: “Meh.”
