“ed Cruz: I Will Filibuster Any Supreme Court Nomination President Obama Makes”
I haven’t heard Trump promise that. Therefore TRUMP IS A FRAUD.
(my imitation of people that claim to be Cruz supporters)
What? Cruz would suspend his campaign? I thought he took a leave of absence from his Senate job.
Ok, I’m liking this.
If I had a choice, HE would be the nominee. Id love to have him there for about 30 years. And I think he would be a square peg in a square hole there.
Haven’t been his biggest fan, but I’m going to keep an open mind on him here on this matter.
That’s the Ted Cruz we know and love. That’s the guy who has drawn such fervent support.
I’ve been waiting for his very statement from him.
That’s great news.
good. but he better make it stick. no more three days and out “filibusters.”
well that’s good news. There are a few Senators like Sessions that might help him. Unfortunately there are not many of them.
What will he read this time, the Muppet go to Canada?
Somebody shoule ask Patrick Leahy why Congress has abdicated its Constitutional responsibility to have a BUDGET for the past 7 years.
Their failure to have a budget (but instead up the debt ceiling and spend like drunken sailors in an effort to be Santa Claus to voters) was recognized by Russia and China as the death knell to the US economy. We have taken on a debt we can never repay, with no intention to ever slow down the spending. In 2011 China and Russia realized that the US was a millstone around their necks and as long as their fate was tied to the strength of our economy they were in existential danger just like we are. They responded by joining together to form a financial system that would survive the inevitable America economic collapse.
As Kevin Freeman says, “Mutually Assured Destruction” is not longer real in the financial world. China and Russia do not need us, and he believes that they will euthanize the US economy when it best suits their interests. I suspect probably in November or December of this year, which coincides with Obama’s plan already in existence in July of 2008, to be President for “the next 8 to 10 years”. An economic attack and/or euthanizing event such as an EMP would make elections and/or inauguration of a new President impossible and would probably signal sleeper cells to take the state capitols and then move on to DC.
Like I said, somebody needs to ask Leahy why in the past 7 years the Congress has never once upheld their Constitutional mandate to have a budget. That FAILURE to abide by their oaths of office has made us INCREDIBLY vulnerable now. They literally sold us into death, just like Judas.
Vote Jeb!
“It’s really not important”
Cruz at least breaks from his colleagues. He fights Obama more than the rest of them.
Come to think of it, has Trump EVER opposed the President or fought for the Constitution?
*crickets*
Cruz’s “filibuster” yammering is pure nonsense. The only reason a filibuster would be needed is if 41 GOP Senators voted for debate cloture on a nomination, which means Ted would have to be filibustering the GOP.
But it’s not going to come to that because there’s no reason for the nomination to even come out of the Judicial Committee, AND McConnell said he would a nomination to the floor for a vote anyway. Ted already knows all of this, so he’s simply pandering to people he thinks are ignorant and trying to puff himself up into a phony hero.
Both Ted and Trump bother me on multiple issues. Not trivial in either case.
Ted appears more stable. How much Ted is part of the ruling gope/uniparty is debatable, and his wife and dad are negative baggage. His personal stability on issues is better.
Really despair at our current pickings.
And probably with as much success as he had against Obamacare
Cruz etc need to show the possible Rino POTUS nominees why they might wnt to be able to pick a SCOTUS nominee next year. He needs to convince them it is in their best interests, if elected, to have this power to nominate Scalia’s replacement.
I doubt Trump will be able to do most of what he promises but if he can do some, it will be better than the others who promise to slow the decline.
