Ted Cruz saved America at 3:30 AM last night…
Citizen Free Press ^ | August 13, 2021 | Kane

Posted on 08/13/2021 7:14:49 AM PDT by Dr. Thorne

Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle. Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.

I've always took the "natural born citizen" thing to be not about the location of the birth, but about citizenship being automatic at birth because one or both parents are citizens. Of that, Cruz is a natural born citizen.

I couldn't stand the birther talk of Obama. Even if he was born in Kenya he's a natural born citizen because his mother was a citizen.

Likewise when talking about anchor babies. Those are not natural born citizens because their parents aren't citizens, even if the baby is born on U.S. soil. Basically, if you're against the policy of anchor babies then you have to admit that the "natural born citizen" definition for both anchor babies and presidential requirements isn't based on location of birth but is instead based on whether one of the parents was a citizen.

Cruz is a HERO.

SHUMER is a CLOWN.

Cruz is one of the few people who are actually fighting for what used to be America. Watch. They will try to destroy him.

What has Cruz done about THAT.

Much more than you have done.

......”3:30 AM call for unanimous consent? “......

Parents always said after 12:00 is when all the crooks, thieves, liars and murderers come out. Schumer embodies that.

RE: My question is why was it only Teddy?

Everyone else were too tired by then to focus on this foul, sneaky deception.

As the adage goes: THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE.

I’m glad Cruz objected, but where was Mitch, to set a example?

Mitch is admiring his Hunter Biden painting.

And if I only had the time I would enjoy reposting all the bile toward Cruz here when he is the only one who attempted to stop this monstrosity of a bill in the senate. The senate repukes are worse then the democrats.

Schumer better remember that just 2 vacancies from the RATS could happen at anytime.

We can only hope it happens soon.

Me neither. Without the colossal mistake of bringing soccer balls and teddies to the border with Beck, he would have contended with Trump all the way to the convention in 2016. I still think that Trump would have won. Luckily, Trump became a great president.

The communists are like crickets...
Swat them or scare them away to shut them up...
Momentary silence...
Then they are back again
and again
and again...

Only a radical & complete extermination will fix the problem...

Regardless of Cruz’s moments of ntegrity, he was, and is, a major Corporatist Globalist laying low for now. His wife is a supporter of One World Government (or at least Union of Americas et.al) and wrote a paper for Goldman Sachs encouraging same. My tentativeness is because last time I read her paper was 2016. Watch Cruz carefully.

There are valid reasons to oppose Cruz and invalid reasons to oppose Cruz. What I’ve seen and heard from self-described conservatives are almost always invalid reasons.

Your reasons may be valid, and I’m willing to listen. But the rancorous “anti-Trump” narrative is just stupid.

“Those RCV provisions are in HR1 for a reason.
That said, a number of states have passed RCV.
And far more have RCV-enabmed voting machines.
What has Cruz done about THAT.”

What can any US Senator do about the voting laws SET BY EACH STATE.
I guess US Senator Cruz could go the democrat route and federalize ALL elections, even the ones for dog catcher.
Is that your solution?
