Ted Cruz Statement on Firing of Acting Attorney General
Facebook ^

Posted on 01/30/2017 8:03:02 PM PST by springwater13

After eight long years of a lawless Obama Department of Justice, it is fitting--and sad--that the very last act of the Obama DOJ is for the Acting AG to defy the newly elected President, refuse to enforce the law, and force the President to fire her. Sally Yates now joins the ignominious succession, from Eric Holder to Loretta Lynch, of Attorneys General who put brazen partisan interests above fidelity to law.

President Trump was exactly right to fire an acting Attorney General who refused to carry out her constitutional duty to enforce and defend the law. Yates’ lawless partisanship highlights why the Senate needs to act now--and Senate Democrats should end their extreme political obstruction and delay--and confirm Jeff Sessions immediately. America needs and deserves an Attorney General who will be faithful to the Constitution and uphold the law.

Don’t want to lose a senator. But I want Cruz on the court.

If more GOP elected officials would be this supportive it would be great.

Instead we get some squishy RINOs whining like Chuck Schumer.

Good on Ted.

Witch needed firing.

Any man that turns on you during the big battle, will turn on you at any other time of his chosing.

That is not a man you can trust.

Ted has left little reminders of how much you can trust him from 1999 forward.

DoughtyOne, Whatever your reasons — and I really mean WHATEVER — you are now hurting President Trump’s cause when you diss a presently very willing supporter in Ted Cruz.

I really think you need to set this aside now and come together with ALL Senators who are supporting our Constitution and President Trump.
To not do so , hurts the President.

He won’t get it, but it’s nice that he is backing the president.

But that’s exactly what Teddy did for most of the primary; he’s really not very smart, but at least he’s better than little Marco.

You can understand the need to pull together when it favors giving Ted a pass. When it comes to Ted doing his duty for the nation, you don’t feel so inclined.

If he couldn’t pull together last year, I’m not buying his actions now.

He blew it massively.

SubMareener is simply here to discredit and destroy Freerepublic.

He’s one of our many Obamas.
