I just got off the phone with Mile Lee’s office and I asked how a man who has just published a book on preserving the constitution could have voted in favor of a bill that guts it entirely. I got a nonsensical response about how the senate would not treat the treaty as a treaty and how the Corker amendment was the lesser of two evils.
I’m not sure how giving Obama the power to ram a treaty through with almost 2/3 of congress voting against it can possibly be the lesser of two evils.
Why is Senator Cotton the only patriot left in Washinton?
He had tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He's ranger qualified, airborne, air assault, and a CIB. So he's seen the elephant. He doesn't need a class to tell him who's been helping blow up US soldiers in Iraq and Afghan.
Didn’t Cruz vote for Corker’s plan, too? I’m fairly sure he did. I’d love to see his constitutional analysis of it. It’s one of the 2 demerits that Cruz has earned from me, the other being his ignorant H1B visa stance, which I think he has tried walking back a bit. I believe he’s now saying that he insists on any visa going ONLY to a clear vacancy that cannot CLEARLY be filled by a qualified American.
I’d feel better if he wrote legislation to that effect.
