Cruz thinks like a general, and brawls bare-knuckles. He will grab McConnell and Boehner by their scrawny necks, and rub their noses in the Constitution.
SWEET
Love the headline.
I’m guessing that even this would be done strategically.
Empty pandering.
It’ll never pass - which is why he said it.
<>The president is de facto collaborating with an avowed enemy of the United States to leverage the undemocratic cesspool that is the United Nations against Americas lawmakers and the people who elected them. <>
This IS going to get ugly!
Go, Cruz, GO!!
Effectively, with this deal Obama signs the death warrant of many Americans . . . we just don’t know how many yet. . . and the idiot MSM thinks he is wonderful.
I am glad Cruz is saying this...
On a related issue - I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Byrd were still alive. Would he have put up with Obama usurping Congress’ role like most Rats have?
Good idea Cruz but not a damn chance. King Obama is in complete control and as dictator he will do what he damn pleases. Waste of time.
He won’t do crap. He voted for this already when he flipped the constitution on its head, by saying Obama can veto their refusal to pass the treaty.
I wonder if in the future “Obama” will become a word meaning treason in the same way “Bork” became a word meaning to unfairly attack and smear.
If Ted Cruz wants to be president he’d would be better off going before the American people and declaring that he will lead an effort to defund the U.N. if it acts on the Iran treaty before Congress has a chance to.
Then he can make a major issue out of the outrages the U.N. has committed — at American taxpayers’ expense — with specific examples that will arouse prospective voters’ anger, fill large auditoriums to hear his speeches, and propel him to frontrunner status in the Republican presidential race. This is how Donald Trump is vaulting over his Republican rivals.
Ted Cruz has to stop sounding like he’s trying to win a professorship in Constitutional law at Harvard rather than the presidency. Half the people in this country don’t know what the Constitution is. That’s one of the greatest problems in this country — mass ignorance — which is why we need a Conservative president who will reform our education system.
But Ted Cruz is not going to make it to the White House if he can’t speak on the same level as the people, who need to be energized, not bored with the intricate legal and parliamentary issues he seems so enamored with.
What’s going on here.....
What is happening behind the surface is that Obama doesn’t want Congressional Democrats to be held accountable for their votes on the Iranian Nuke deal.
In an attempt to bypass Congress, Democrats would be off the hook. They would simply tell their constituents, hey, we wanted to vote against it but it was out of our hands.
Cruz “threatens”. Blab blab blab.....
I've little faith in any elected or appointed "official"....period.
Cruz is a principled man with courage. He is trying to do something. He has tried in the past as well. But he is swimming in a sea of graft and corruption among both parties. The awkward shift in the balance of power in the branches of government is that the legislature has ceded its authority. They’re too busy lining their pockets.
There’s never a guillotine around when you need one.

Why would Mr. Cruz do that? He voted for this mess. He knew what he was voting for when he voted for it. They all did. Only Mr. Cotton was able to resist Hussein and McConnell. He has never backtracked from that vote. He compounded his poor judgment by voting to give Hussein plenary trade negotiating powes, too. He partially backed away from that but his initial judgment is shown to at least be very poor.
Agreed. And he has authentic ethics. I so love him as a future president.
