Ted Cruz Ping! Whether you like Ted or not, and I do, one thing about him you have to admit is, he forces people in Washington to be put on the record and to take sides. And they hate it and him.
I applaud him for trying something, but it’s pure symbolism. He would be better advised to introduce a bill limiting scotus’ ability to rule federal laws unconstitutional under Congress’ power per Article III. It wouldn’t pass either, though the bar is slightly lower, but it would shake people up and bring that power to light.
Rush said something similar today about us, “going along with it”; that’s not the point. Here’s what I emailed Rush today:
“Rush, we do not accept gay marriage or other...however, what happens if we say anything in public? IRS? Heck, they can seize your life savings. The EPA can just simply claim my back yard as a sanctuary...They can destroy your life. That is the reason ...we are not going away but, When the people fear the government that is tyranny; when the government fears the people that is liberty. Talking to friends about this in “safe groups” is one thing, saying it out loud or to a pollster, is too risky.
Rush, you know where we are at this point; there is no freedom of press, religion or speech...”
I’m reading elsewhere that we don’t need an amendment. A simple piece of legislation passed by a simple majority in both the house and the Senate would do the trick. According to what I read this AM on Western Journalism, this doesn’t even need the President’s signature.
Of course, try telling that to your Congressman and you get a long, convoluted explanation of Senate and House “rules”. And even Cruz has told my Congressman that the “rule” currently in play that only one piece of legislation per year passes out of the Senate with 51 votes is a good rule. Everything else needs 60.
According to my Congressman, they were haolding open their one 51 member vote for repealing Obamacare until SCOTUS struck down the Burwell case.
Something very dark is going on in DC, and we voters are in line to be snookered again.
Here is the article to which I refer. I can’t post a link because I received this in email from the Western Center for Journalism:
Republican Leaders Are Lying To You. Congress CAN Nullify The Lawless Supreme Court Decree That Two Men Can Marry... And They Can Do It Tomorrow!
This news might come as something of a shock to some of you, but Congress has the CLEAR and UNDENIABLE authority and power, under Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States, to NULLIFY the recent lawless decree by five unelected black-robed tyrants that elevates perversion to the status of marriage.
All it takes is a simple majority vote in the House and the Senate and, once it is done, the courts have no power to rule on it and Barack Obama has no authority to veto it. If Congress votes... IT IS DONE.
So why isn’t Congress taking a vote right now? ... Why have so few in the media brought this simple Constitutional remedy to your attention? Senator Ted Cruz said it best: “Sadly, the political reaction from the leaders of my party is all too predictable. They will pretend to be incensed, and then plan to do absolutely nothing. That is unacceptable.”
Cruz is right. Their lack of action is UNACCEPTABLE, but you have the power to fix that right here and right now by calling our elected officials on the carpet. It only takes a simply majority of the House and the Senate to nullify this lawless Supreme Court ruling, and we want to see a vote NOW.
Cruz/Huckabee 2016. They are the only 2 with guts and the ability to articulate a position.
“moderate is a base-stealing word for liberal Republicans.” — William F. Buckley Jr.
IT takes too long for an amendment to pass.
Ted should just sponsor legislation that does the same thing and get it passed.
Congress has the power to override any Supreme Court decision by legislation.
If Obola vetoes it, get the veto overridden—there is an election year next year, and if the people want it the politicians will want it too.
