Thanks for taking the time to look that up, I was pretty sure that was the case.

If you are not in a position to hire or appoint someone depending on the outcome of an election, then the law doesn’t apply to you. It only applies to individuals running for elected office.

Close down DHS...what is CIA and FBI and Immigration for? We need more data sharing not organizations.

Trump got 30,000.

Alabama’s pretty conservative (not like Conservative-Talking-But-Leftist-Acting Mississippi). I’m pretty sure they’ll get another Conservative to take Secretary Session’s place.

Lets say Trump as an example.

He does not have to come out and say it. He can simply use the media to see for example, Palin, and he talking a lot about the DOE and getting her expertise on Oil.

Then Talking with lets say Duncan Hunter on Border walls. Do the same with all your picks. Keep talking to them exclusively. The public will associate the two.

The media will do all the legwork. They will right article after article linking the two. Trust me, I was in the Biz. And that violates nothing legal I am aware of.

That is fine, and it happens a lot. But when Cruz uses the name Sessions and a specific position in a public venue, it runs dangerously close to an indirect special consideration of a position.

It’s just something he, and all candidates, need to keep in mind.

Also, Freepers who encourage various candidates to name their cabinet, or supreme court nominees, or their choice of U.N. Ambassador need to realize that their candidates are cowards or un-thoughtful of those ideas, they just can’t say it because of this law.

“aren’t cowards” not “are cowards”. Ugh, really want that edit function that will never happen.

He alludes to Trumps wall again, never saying anything strong about it or even amnesty himself

No, Cruz is not a genius. He’s pandering to the crowd. Seriously, in Alabama, Senator Session’s state. Open your eyes.

Then with all due respect, why is apparently no one concerned with Donald Trump, who if I am not mistaken, didn’t just float the idea of I believe it was Carl Ichan as Treasury Secretary or some such thing, but allegedly offered him the job if elected. If they are not going after Trump for that, they won’t go after Cruz for this.

I am concerned about that. Candidates need to pay attention to the details of election law. It can really cause problems.

And as has been brought up, Cruz advocated for some of these things before Trump said Romney’s immigration policy was too mean spirited. I understand Trump made this his immediate plank and focus, but accuracy and acknowledging that it’s possible for someone to have some of the same positions and still be their own man doesn’t hurt. ;)

Nope, he said Carl Ichan called him and volunteered his services, not the same thing as Trump promising Carl a position.

Yes, we know. He is the second coming for emotional types, can do no wrong, will turn water into wine, and everyone else should drop out while he still might be gracious enough to offer them cabinet positions after clobbering Hillary a 450-88 electoral count. He is after all, as Ann Coulter put it, the blessed Donald Trump.

It s like that in Iowa and Cruz has a commanding lead.

Well apparently he should keep his mouth shut on even something like that- particularly if even any loophole can be used to go after him on it.
