SENATOR Ted Cruz is calling for a criminal investigation into Twitter for potentially "violating US sanctions against Iran."

Cruz asked for the investigation in a letter to the Justice and Treasury departments on Friday.

In February, Cruz wrote a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to ask him to stop providing social media services to Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

Now, the senator is calling on Attorney General William Barr and Secretary Steve Mnuchin to "take action."

In Friday's letter, Cruz wrote: "I believe that the primary goal of (the International Emergency Economic Powers Act) and sanctions law should be to change the behavior of designated individuals and regimes, not American companies,.

"But when a company willfully and openly violates the law after receiving formal notice that it is unlawfully supporting designated individuals, the federal government should take action."

If we don't have the courts to adjudicate legal disputes all we have is each other giving our opinions, which may amuse us but is otherwise inconsequential..

Courts are absolutely essential, but when they are clearly malfunctioning, we should recognize that their output is just garbage.

We should not simply accept the most ridiculous rulings that some court made up out of whole cloth, simply because they are supposed to be in "authority."

When they are wrong, they are just wrong, authority or not.
