[[“Listen, I believe in the rule of law”]]
Question is Ted- do you believe in it so much that you are willing to IMPEACH the supreme court justices who VIOLATED the law and abused their position of power by legislating from the bench on the last two issues?
Will ANY candidate stand up to the supreme court bullies?
CRUZ: It's pure politics. The Framers, when they wrote the constitution, they believed the check on judicial overreach. The Framers wrote about judicial overreach quite a bit. They believed the check would be impeachment. Now, here is the sad reality. Within a few decades Thomas Jefferson said impeachment had been not even a scarecrow. Even 200 years ago the Supreme Court wasn't afraid of it.
Today, we have a United States Senate we can't muster 50 votes to defeat Loretta Lynch, an Attorney General who tells us she is not going to follow the law or the constitution. There's no universe in which there are 67 votes to remove [Justice] Anthony Kennedy from the Supreme Court.
Ted Cruz can't impeach anybody by himself...but you already know that!
Why ask him to do something that will never happen ?
Might as well ask him why he can't take a walk on the moon...
Cruz calling for their impeachment would simply give the progressive left the ammo they need to paint him as even more extreme...
Also consider a majority of Americans actually agree with the court...
