‘Cruz being against the American constitution is all we need.’
“You don’t have that, either.”
Yes we do.... The Corker Bill, subverting the Constitution.
Cruz's explaination for the Coker Bill. BTW... Jeff Sessions voted for it also. Probable for the exact same reason Cruz reluctantly did.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding votes on the Iran Nuclear Review Act:
“This bill was a missed opportunity. If Congress had acted to defend our constitutional authority – if Congress had adopted the Cruz-Toomey amendment – then we would be able to stop a bad Iran deal. Instead, the odds are now overwhelming that under these ground rules President Obama will negotiate, and Congress will acquiesce to, a terrible deal that allows Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and will endanger the lives of millions of Americans and our allies.
“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal. I will continue to lead the fight to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to protect the national security of America and our allies.”
There, alone, he stated he would use an Agency with NO Constitutional Authorization to TELL every American what to put in their gas tank (not gasoline, but alcohol) and redistribute the TAX MONEY raised from Americans as a SUBSIDY to pay those who produce the fuel adulterant.
That runs roughshod over the Constitutional authority of the United States' Federal Government.
Cruz was voting on a Bill, in Congress...which, whether you like the vote or not, is his Constitutional duty.
My apologies for not just pinging you to the original answer.
