Cruz:”Sen. Cruz continued, “I find it remarkable that you are unable to answer that question. I can answer it straightforward. It would be patently unconstitutional for any subsequent president to refuse to enforce the tax laws, or the labor laws, or the immigration laws for the very same reason that President Obama’s actions refusing to enforce immigration laws are unconstitutional.”

These type of statements can look embarrassing in the future if say a GOP takes the WH, for example Cruz.

Back when GWB was POTUS Mark Levin said that the Senate minority filibustering the POTUS judicial nominees was unconstitutional, and that they should change the Senate rules.

Then in 2009 the SAME Levin called for GOP minority in Senate to filibuster Obamas judicial nominees, guess its no longer unconstitutional.

Then when Dems changed the rules as he recommended that other Senate do he freaked out. Just because his fans dont remember things he said in the past doesnt mean no one else does.

We may want a GOP POTUS to not enforce some laws.

Wow, that was a long way around to state that you support situational ethics, maybe we should just move to full anarchy. There are plenty of laws I don’t like and plenty more regulations, but I think awareness and repeal far outweigh situational ethics and oath breaking.

Is Cruz Mark Levin? What does Cruz’s quote have to do with filibustering anyway? Also filibustering to prevent a vote is not the same as voting no for in the Advice and Consent process.

We had two GOP presidents not enforce some laws, both named Bush. Neither enforced immigration laws to any serious extent. The open border and lack of interior enforcement are the reasons (along with Clinton's eight years) we now have to huge population of illegal aliens we have no.

Most were already here with Obama took office; he just had to gall to begin granting legal status without any action from Congress.

W totally ignored the Secure Fence Act of 2006; he had no intention of doing anything that would made a serious dent in the illegal entries into the US.
