WINTERSET, Iowa - Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Monday warned voters that their Second Amendment rights are in jeopardy if they elect Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton this November.
"If Hillary Clinton is elected president, the Supreme Court will rule that no individual American has any individual right to keep and bear arms whatsoever," the Texas senator said. "And the government can make it a felony for you to own a firearm and protect your family."
The GOP candidate and Iowa frontrunner backed up his claim by arguing that the next president will likely be responsible for naming anywhere from one to four Supreme Court justices during his or her tenure.
"We are one justice away from a five-justice, ultra-left wing majority that will tear down our constitutional liberties fundamentally," Cruz said.
That same liberal-run court will also move to take down religious symbols on public property, he added.
"If Hillary Clinton is elected president, we will see the Supreme Court ordering Ten Commandments monuments to be torn down on courthouses and public steps all across this country," Cruz said during a Q&A with evangelical leader James Dobson.
After Cruz warned that the government might make it a felony to own a gun, an audience member at the packed event at the Winterset Stage called out: "Come and take it!"
The crowd cheered and murmured agreement.
"I think Iowa and Texas have some things in common," Cruz joked.
After an already long day, Cruz has one more bus tour campaign stop Monday night - beginning at 10:45 p.m. CST in Missouri Valley.
Ted didn’t realize Roberts would be blackmailed over his (technically illegally) adopted kids. I wonder whether Roberts’s was one of FBI raw files Hillary purloined.
Have you ever considered the reason Trump is self-paying because he would not be able to get the donors???? There’s a reason why Trump’s ALWAYS the one donating to politicians and political charities rather than have his own “successful” Charities. Heck even the college he opened fell flat.
What does it matter who supports what candidates with donations?....they have that freedom and certainly we don’t want ONLY those of wealth to run for President. I have no problem with raising funds for a Politician to be able to have the revenues to win.
“If you don’t like the ratings for any reason, please contact Conservative Review’s Editor-in-Chief, “The Great One,” Mark Levin.”
I don’t, and Mark Levin is just another loud-mouthed a$$hole whose 15 minutes of “fame” is about over. We should thank Trump for having exposed the likes of Mark Levin and others of his ilk! Go Trump!
If that happens everyone here knows what that means.
1. any limitations or interferences with American citizens’ rights to keep and bear arms...are unconstitutional and will not be obeyed
2. anything the “president’ orders the American citizens to do or not to do...is not law... and will not be obeyed
3. on its face, it would not even pass a first-year-law-students’ examination for just writing a proper regulation or ‘law’. In The Business has a specific legal meaning... it cannot be redefined down to a single transaction .. even if attempted by congress and even if dealing with an otherwise constitutional subject for congressional action. O is childish, stupid about the most simple things in American law..... and it is amazing that he apparently doesn’t have any better-informed advisers (!?) too.
4. FUBO (or whatever your real name is)
What ever, Cruz was a big supporter of John Roberts. Epic fail. I do not think we need Cruz appointing more John Roberts to the Supreme Court.
BUMP!
The election of Clinton would require a revolution to retain our rights as surely as Lincolns election started the Civil War. A struggle is almost upon us and I am sick with dread.
Cruz is absolutely correct.
The next president will get to nominate 2-4 justices. Choose carefully.
Trump points to his radical sister as a good justice, although he says he won’t appoint her. But is that an indication of the kind of justice he would appoint?
Remember, Warren, Brennan, Blackmun, Stevens, and Souter were all Republican-appointed justices. So it’s importnat to get the most consistently conservative and constitutionalist president we can.
If Cruz were to somehow get the nomination, the msm would destroy Cruz to the point where even he would vote for hillary.
Same thing can be said about Donald Trump, who thinks his pro abortion, far left sister is the kind of person who'd make an excellent US Supreme Court Justice.
Voting for Trump = another Justice Kagan or Sotomayor in the Supreme Court and disaster for this country.
Every conservative who values their freedom should NEVER vote for Trump.
“And n that , he is completely accurate . .as I think we All agree
We should also recognize a Republican president I’ll not necessarily make onservative appointments to the Court and a Republican Senate will not block liberal appointees to the Court.
Blackman, O’Conner, Souter, Robert, Warren were all appointed by GOP presidents. Only four Republican senators voted no on Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
