OMG the people knocking Cruz on this are doing the Dems’ work! Stop it!
Sarah,
Clearly, there is no longer a political solution to what ails us. I think we knew this even before Donald Trump became President Trump but we, as a group, gave it one more shot anyway.
Precious time has elapsed and now our time is mighty short. Either We the People take the bull by the horns and take our country back now, or everything we hold dear will be gone forever.
Dude, stop.
Agreed, fantastic statement.
Additionally, even though shutdown is actually based on state government powers imo, and uniquely associated state revenues that post-17th Amendment ratification feds have stolen from the states and continue to steal, 2018 and 2019 “federal” taxes need to be prorated to compensate taxpayers for loss of services imo.
In fact, since mail services (1.8.7) continued through Democratic and MSM-manufactured shutdown, it can be argued that most constitutionally justifiable domestic “federal” government services were never shutdown.
Also, not only does tax day for unconstitutional federal taxes, infamously April 15, need to be moved to the day before election day imo until the states wise up repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, but PDJT should likewise consider moving SOTU to the day before election day since Constitution doesn’t specify a calendar date for SOTU.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is to control government power to tax." —me
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically competing, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
I don’t believe the courts have a play in this. Congress does though and they need a majority in both houses to overturn Trump’s call.
It's been 12 years since the 2006 Fence act. We know what happened during 8 of those years.
It's our turn and the President is fighting for you and me. Stay strong.
There is nothing "Breaking" in what Cruz wrote.
I GUARANTEE you in 3 weeks absolutely NOTHING is going to change

When will they ever learn?
He tried before. The Republicans controlled the House. But the Rs allowed 8 Dems to controll the Senate! Trump has had enough!
Much irrational fear of Cruz here... wonder why....
I didn’t know about the support from one of the republican senators, and I am glad you posted it, Lonestar.
Breaking news to me.
No, they crossed the floor in the Senate indicating the do not support the wall.
Get your head out of 0bama’s nether region.
He was great before 2016, as well.
Cruz bump for later.....
It doesn’t matter if they are shut down or not. They basically got a five week paid vacation. They had no skin in the game if they had any sort of savings account.
We need to flood the White House switchboard with demands for such an Order/Declaration.
Now you’re being silly.
No, let’s make that just plain dumb.
