How Scalia and Ted Cruz Saved the 2nd Amendment
THe American Thinker ^ | February 19, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 02/19/2016 2:36:03 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Since the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the GOP presidential field has, in a rare show of unity, supported Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's statement that Scalia's replacement should be determined by the results of the November election. Democratic hypocrites like Sen. Chuck Schumer accuse the GOP of obstructionism, the memory of their blocking of George W. Bush nominees having faded.

They, while insisting that President Obama has the Constitutional right to nominate a replacement, which he does, forget the Senate's Constitutional role to advise and consent -- or not consent. They can say no -- or even "not yet". Yes, President Obama won election twice, but the voters also gave the Republicans their Senate majority, and if the 2014 election was about anything, it was about stopping the Obama agenda. The GOP Senate majority has been criticized for not keeping their pledge, but this is a chance toi not only stop the Obama gun control agenda but to save the Constitution.

Sen. Ted Cruz has warned that we are only one justice away from having the Second Amendment guaranteeing our right to keep and bear arms written out of the Constitution. He is aware of President Obama's gun control agenda and that his appointee to the Supreme Court would echo the anti-gun views of President Obama's pick to be Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy. Cruz opposed the anti-gun Murthy, telling CNN's Candy Crowley as Murthy's nomination battle was underway:

"Of course we should have a surgeon general in place," Cruz told Crowley. "And we don't have one because President Obama, instead of nominating a health professional, he nominated someone who is an anti-gun activist.

Legal full autos that can be transferred to a private citizen must already have been registered by May 1986- no new full autos can be registerered. Since the supply is finite, prices are VERY high. A LEGAL M16 rifle is about $16,000.

So yes, sort of. But Trump wasn’t talking about these.

So what is it you think his definition of “assault” weapon was? You really think it was full auto only? Because the term is a creation of the left and only has meaning to the left. The left use it as a hammer.

According to the interview I read he seemed to think that only a weapon capable of full auto was an assault weapon.

I’ve been looking for the video. If I find it I will posy it to you

Private gun ownership has been an American right since before the Constitution.

The fact that Cruz was alive and present in the United States during the past 41 of his 45 years is proof positive, to Cruz bots, that he has safeguarded that right by his mere state of consistency.

Well if people’s pals count as evidence of what they’ll do in spite of their actual actions, which there is a record of, let’s talk about Trump’s pals?

That will be fun...

Ever hear of Bill and Hill? That list is long... Ever looked at his donation record???

I'll keep it to Heidi's endorsement of the CFR's goals. A North American Community. Try to divorce her from that.

Let's see, the Cruz family and their involvement in the Bush administration. Yeah, Ted's a real outsider.

Oh! Come on! He donated enough to get them to take his phone calls, not enough to make a difference in any campaign.

Are you an agent-provocateur for the establishment cabal, or do you think that Ted Cruz is Yah’s dedicated servant to restore Christian dominance in America, or are you just so blind you can not see what is going on in America, today.

Because I know I always make my voting decisions based on the candidate’s wife’s employer and associations.

Geeeze.

Of course.

Trump never ever ever helped ultra liberal democrats get elected just like he never ever ever praised Obama as doing a good job or at least he didn’t really mean it.

He also really didn’t mean what he said when he praised Hillary, Pelosi, B Clinton, etc.
