ok Good!
Ping.
No sale, Rafael.
He said this BECAUSE the Senate voted against it.
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.
....”today’s 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.
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.
Thanks, Senator Cruz.
There is WAR against our country and this is within the President’s WAR POWERS!!!
What does MITT think we should do about the war? Nothing, that’s what!! Maybe he will do Romneycare for all the illegals.
Thank you Sen Cruz for standing up for the President.
ICE SHOULD BEGIN SEND ALL ILLEGALS TO UTAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEND ALL TO SALT LAKE CITY - Just like nobama did to the rual red states and a small towns throughout the south!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Mike and Mitt!!!!!!!!!!!
The Morons Mormans love YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lighten up on Cruz! What he said is here is absolutely correct. This is not the hill to die on (for those that sided with the Dems). The EPD IS current law - even though we all recognize the enormous potential for abuse. Heck, Cruz even gave great examples of those who would abuse it and how they could do so. Stand with the President to exercise his current authority via the EPD and then take that power back!
very well put Senator.....and please shave that beard for crying out loud.
Ted Cruz 2024
I noticed Little Marco was among the Republicans voting ‘no’.
Wow, so glad to see Ted came out in advance with this opinion, to help sway others to vote against this bill.
This guy is such a wuss.
Ted stood tall on this one. Mike Lee did not
The question is; are there enough Vishy Republicans to over-ride the veto?
