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.

No one denies what Donald Trump did in the past. We are talking about what he has written and said that he is going to do now and in the future.

Did you ever contribute to the RNC, or any other establishment political organization? Well if you did, you voted to support Obamacare, open boarders, partial birth abortion and selling baby parts, because nothing the Republicans have done has actually stopped any of this.

So, 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?

If Hillary suddenly started saying everything Trump is saying would you believe her and vote for her over Cruz?

If not, why should I believe Trump and vote for Trump over Cruz?

Because when he has been in a political mode, as it exploring runs for the Presidency, he has been consistently a common-sense conservative, with more compassion than that compassionate conservative George Walker Bush.

The thing that nails it for me is the list of people who are opposing him. It is a who’s who of the one-world government, crony capitalism, establishment Uniparty, apostate church people and their organizations.

So are you part of that establishment, or are you just deceived?

Trump by his own bragging is the ultimate crony capitalist.

He even thinks it’s OK for the govt to take someone’s land for his personal use and don’t give me anything about Keystone since only an idiot wouldn’t know the difference.

Uniparty. Trump is ultimate uniparty sine he brags about his being able to work with and make “deals” with democrats.

Am I establishment?

I live right in the middle of just under 500 acres and am about 80% self sufficient.

I’m about as far from the establishment as you can get which is why I don’t want some NE liberal clown that has lived in an ivory tower his entire life making decisions for me.

OK, you have eliminated agent-provocateur for the establishment cabal, so we are down to: 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?

Nope, haven’t been to church in over 40 years.

I can see exactly what’s going on In America, which is why I know someone that wants to make deals with the very democrats that created the mess isn’t someone that is serious in solving the problems.

Making deals with democrats and advancing the democrat agenda, no matter how small, isn’t the right direction.

Holder and Gores, of course, exclude themselves from the ban on gun ownership and protection. NO GUNS FOR DC POLITICIANS AND LAWYERS—the new bumper sticker

What does that have to do with the question I asked about Alan Gura being Heller’s attorney?

Maybe Ted Cruz’s name should be the one President Trump submits for the next SC justice. You don’t need to have a personality for the job, so maybe Cruz is the correct person for the court.
