Ted Cruz SLAMS Republican majority in the Senate for allowing Lynch nomination

On the Senate floor a few moments ago, Ted Cruz SLAMMED the new Senate Republican majority for refusing to block Loretta Lynch’s nomination to Attorney General. He said that the Republican majority could continue to block the nomination if they wanted to and it’s something he’s urged them to do do because of her admissions to run the DOJ in a lawless fashion just like Eric Holder.

He pointed out that more than a few voters are asking what is the difference between a Republican and Democratic Senate majority when someone promising the exact same lawlessness as Holder will be allowed to get confirmed. He says that’s something each Republican will have to explain to their constituents.

He also adds that not a single Republican can vote for such a nomination and be consistent with their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution.

I wish there was some way we could get these worthless bastards out of the Senate.

TED CRUZ is not afraid to speak the truth. Backdoor cronyism will cease under a CRUZ Administration. We need a President who will defend our freedoms.

Sheriff David Clarke says it at least once per week on twitter.

The republicans were not elected to roll over and be democrats.

Ted Cruz is 100% correct!!! Obama is a “Lame Duck” , failed POTUS!!! This woman, Loretta Lynch is Eric Holder in skirts.....another “Black Racist” America hater!!! Shame on any Republican that votes Ms. Lynch. Obama & Lynch only look foward to destroy the American Republic!!! Every Republican that votes for her should be defeated in primary!!!

Well, I see that Harry Reid is still running the Senate.

Even better would be to vote her down. No need to deny her a vote.

Sadly, they have to deny the vote because there are a bunch of progressive Republicans who will vote for her, even though she promises to violate the law as Attorney General.

I suspect in a Cruz administration, the RINOs will work with Democrats to thwart Cruz on most of his agenda.

I disagree with one thing: BO is a SUCCESSFUL POTUS. His intentional destruction of America is almost complete.

What a shame that, unlike on the State level, we can't RECALL Congressmen and U.S. Senators.

Mitch will poke his head out of his shell when he gets his political ass handed to him in the next election that puts the Majority back to the Rats.

He will milk the system to pad his and his friends pockets until then.

Ted Cruz: "No senator can vote for this confirmation consistent with his or her oath [of office to support and defend the Constitution]."

That's Senate floor verbiage for "A senator who votes for Lynch is a traitor to the United States of Ameica."

Remember the names of the traitors who vote for Lynch!

The first thing President Ted Cruz will do is ask for the "leadership resignation" of both McConnell and John Boehner ...

If he does, we will read a new concern for the independence of the legislative branch from executive interference. Cruz might get his way, but they will not go quietly. Always understand, they are not on his side, they are progressives.
