Here is my statement regarding my vote in favor of @realDonaldTrump's national emergency declaration --> https://t.co/EdTQSAG22d pic.twitter.com/zty21sEcWO— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) March 14, 2019
ok Good!
Ping.
Yep!
.
No sale, Rafael.
He said this BECAUSE the Senate voted against it.
One of the few who almost always has the presidents back.
That’s who I voted for and he’ll continue to get my Senator vote.
We didn’t reelect Cruz last year to be a drama queen, but I guess that’s what we got.
....”todays question was whether there was an emergency at our southern border. There is”.....
That is exactly what it was......so the Republicans that opposed this passing are clearly for open borders.
I also have issues with the entire concept of 'declared national emergencies' as far as executive orders are concerned, and have for decades now. However, this was not the vehicle to display that displeasure or concern. If congresscritters want to take a look at the entire concept of 'national emergencies', I'm for that. However, they need to take a closer look at the 10 or so standing emergencies that we've been operating under for as far back as I have memory.
While they are at it, they should take a look at the FISA courts, and the huge 'national security' industry that threatens us all as well.
We didnt reelect Cruz last year to be a drama queen, but I guess thats what we got.
Talk about drama queens, weve got the champ up here in Kentucky with Paul. At least your queen didnt do a pirouette, spinning around to put the dagger in your back on this.
Your comment doesn’t make any sense.
Alexander, Blunt, Collins, Lee, Moran, Murkowski, Paul, Portman, Romney, Rubio, Toomey, Wicker
Time to let these Traitors know what we think of them. Not one cent from any official republican election fund, Senate fund, RNC fund or the House election fund
AGREED FULLY!
of ALL the possible bad votes they could cast, this had to have been the very worst one imaginable!
I hope Rand Paul and Mike Lee pay dearly for being so treacherous.
They — the Goppies, and the Dems — better hope to God that there is NOT a big-time terrorist attack in the U.S.
Much blame will accrue to them if so. ESPECIALLY if investigation later turns up that the terrorists came in via the southern border.
At some point, Americans will react. (Soon I hope.)
I have a feeling the Senate planned to have 59 senators vote no. Still a won’t stop a veto.
I’m glad Cruz voted for. I thought he had Constitutional issues with Presidential Declarations.
But wisdom prevailed.
He vote the right way. Thats all I care about.
NeverCruzers.
Ya’ll never stop.
