Ted Cruz SLAMS Republican majority in the Senate for allowing Lynch nomination
The Right Scoop ^ | 4-23-2015 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 04/23/2015 9:03:51 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

On the Senate floor a few moments ago, Ted Cruz SLAMMED the new Senate Republican majority for refusing to block Loretta Lynch’s nomination to Attorney General. He said that the Republican majority could continue to block the nomination if they wanted to and it’s something he’s urged them to do do because of her admissions to run the DOJ in a lawless fashion just like Eric Holder.

He pointed out that more than a few voters are asking what is the difference between a Republican and Democratic Senate majority when someone promising the exact same lawlessness as Holder will be allowed to get confirmed. He says that’s something each Republican will have to explain to their constituents.

He also adds that not a single Republican can vote for such a nomination and be consistent with their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution.

meanwhile why doesn’t Harry reidf have shades on..

and he’s praising TNs Corker for the “very good work he did on it” that’s not good...

Corkers hand in the nomination is treasonous..

A man like Cruz only comes along once in a generation.

this country is in dire need of a legal mechanism to remove immediately any President, Senator or House member that clearly betrays their oath and lies to the people. Many will conclude the first answer would be......... but No, I’m not talking about using a hanging rope or a bullet.

When Ted is elected President, I would wish he give McConnell two choices:

Option One:
Defect to the democrat party where he belongs

Option Two:
Step Down

I wouldn’t worry about the consequences of Option One. KY voters should have a field day if McConnell were to switch.

This is one of the best speeches on the floor of the Senate EVER! He put the responsibility for this right where it belongs, on Mitch McConnell. He also let everyone of the traitors who vote for her know that they will be answering to their constituents for violating their oath. This is why Ted Cruz has been on my radar since he ran aginst Dewherst.

I know many on here are Scott Walker fans, but if he is our nominee, he will be second best. I have asked anyone who can to tell me what Walker would do as President that has won their vote. No one has been able to give me one thing. It seems that many are putting the cart before the horse. If we vote responsibly, we should at least know what policies a candidate is advocating before jumping on the bandwagon. Is that not reasonable?

” That’s the crux of it Ted, many “republicans” don’t support the Constitution.”

They are just prostitutes who have been paid to look the other way.
