Train wreck in progress, one way or another.
Thanks! I never thought of that—but my computer time has been hit and miss for the last couple of days.
I love Mark Levin.
Yes, it is.
The Cruz Standard, the US Constitution.
Cruz will pick an AG with stones to go after these corrupt "charitable" foundations, whose owners owe enough back taxes and penalties to totally change the corporate landscape.
So what are we to make of the fact that he appears to agree with Mark Levin at Conservative Review? The issue-by-issue graphical review is quite helpful, btw; it certainly seems to point at Ted Cruz as the most consistently conservative candidate.
Cruz needs to get his wife to resign from Goldman, Sachs. Urgently. That connection is poison.
He also needs to tell us about his good intentions toward the 25-30 million Mexicans who are here illegally (counting their progeny many of whom were born here as "anchors").
Talk to us, Ted. Tell us something about immigration.
And how your wife quit Goldman.
CRUZ: All across this country, Republicans campaigned, saying: if you elect a Republican Senate, we will stop President Obama's illegal amnesty. We need to honor what we said. We should use the constitutional checks and balances that we have to rein in the abuse of power of the executive. Step #1 is if the president implements this lawless amnesty, that the Senate will not confirm any executive or judicial nominees.
CRUZ: We should use the constitutional checks and balances that we have to rein in the abuse of power of the executive. Step #1 that I have called for is the incoming majority leader should announce 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. That is an explicit authority given to the Senate.
Q: Are you saying the Senate should refuse to confirm the president's new nominee for attorney general?
CRUZ: We have to rein in the executive. In the Federalist Papers, our Framers talked about a president who would behave like a monarch. And step #2, we've got is the power of the purse, 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.

Both agreed that the US has failed to secure its border with Mexico, and said they oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants and the Obama administration's new directive allowing many young illegal immigrants brought to the US as children to be exempted from deportation.

Dewhurst: I have always been against an amnesty program. "If they want to be a citizen, they ought to go home and reapply."
Dewhurst says he was against tuition for children of illegal immigrants.
Ted authored a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief on behalf of 10 states in Lopez v. Gonzales, urging the strictest enforcement of laws punishing those with prior felony convictions who entered the country illegally.
