Cruz: Congress should use 'all authority' to rein in activist judges
Conservative Review ^ | 02/23/2017 | Nate Madden

Congress should use every tool at its disposal to rein in activist federal courts, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas (A, 97%) said in a closed-door meeting with reporters at the 2017 Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday. And this includes limiting their jurisdiction with federal legislation, Cruz stated.

Don't Miss A Tweet Profile Picture Conservative Review @CR Follow In the last congressional session, Sen. Cruz introduced a bill that would have limited the jurisdiction of federal court on marriage. When asked about similar legislation, the senator reiterated his unapologetically bold thoughts on the subject of judicial overreach.

“We should be using all legislative and constitutional authority to rein in the abuses [of activist courts],” Sen. Cruz said.

Lemme lay it out for you. Liz Mair, working for Rubio, managed the anti-Trump PAC. Jeff Roe, who knew Cruz was gonna lose, had her splash that GQ Melania pic so his campaign for Cruz had plausible deniability.

Here's a BREITBART pic of Melania and Cruz' daughters early Spring last year. Note the familiarity of the the girls and Melania, they hadn't just met that day.

The Uniparty feared a Trump/Cruz ticket, and set the campaigns warring against each other, not realizing

the team had faked them out in summer '15.

Have you heard DJT come down on Cruz since the election? No?

As I have said, if it were McCain against Obama, you lose either way.

Thus wasn’t even close to that.

I do not want candidates in the future thinking they can pull that routine and get away with it.

The only way to convey that as a Conservative is to raise one hell of a stink when it happens.

This was not a simple misstep. It was a plan that played out over months, deliberately avoiding opposing the likes of Hillary Clinton to be president over a guy promising to do what Trump was promising.

I already posted concerning your closing, but wanted to come back and address the rest thanks.

Congress likes to be walked all over and ignored

Do your job!
