Cruz making a hell of an impression in less than three months, to the consternation of not only democrats, but also senior republicans. A Constitution-citing senator is exactly what we need.

Well since old “Leaky” seems to have forgotten the document he made an oath to uphold, I think it is a good thing that someone does lecture him on how to be a Senator

You are correct. Most of these bloated, greedy, America hating so called Senators are nothing more than self absorbed bloviating would be tyrants. Explain the secon amendment to him! Is he called Leaky because he is incontenant? ( I know it is because he likes to give out our secrets to the enemy)

Among others, Cruz was supported by the Sarah Palin PAC.

Go Cruz ... And thank you Palin.

Passing laws without considering their Constitutionality and depending on the SCOTUS to decide that for each of them is an abdication of their congressional responsibility and flies in the face of their oath of office. They are shirking their duties when they do that. Sen. Cruz is rightly pointing that out.

Awesome! I’ll bet he wanted to smack the smarmy looks off of the faces of the corrupt people around him. And yes, Leaky was definitely drunk, how great would it have been if he said so out loud - you know he was thinking it!!!

“Leaky” Leahy is offended by the reading of a document he’s sworn to protect, but never read? Who’d have thought it?
