Other Senators Fume Over Cruz's Push For Vote On Obama Immigration Action

Talking Points Memo's Livewire ^ | December 13, 2014 | Daniel Strauss

Other members of the Senate fumed Saturday over objections by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) that held up a $1.1 trillion omnibus bill meant to keep the government open. The objection was fueled by the two conservatives' desire to fight President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration.

The objections by Cruz and Lee mean that the Senate must slog through procedural votes Saturday on nominees and also vote to end a filibuster on the omnibus bill at 1 a.m. on Sunday.

It was too much for Democrats and even Republicans to bite their tongues over....

I’m noticing the article does not mention the names of the GOP Senators
who are fuming. I wonder why?

Could it be that while they are fuming at Cruz, they are sacred of him
and the Conservative Army?

Me thinks so. they are all gut-less, corrupt hacks.

Support Cruz, Sessions and Lee

Aside from a few good men, I frickin’ can’t stand the stinking GOP.

I have never in my life seen a group of more despicable, loathsome, disgusting people as the damned republican party.

[smoothsailing]

HA! I love it!

Tag ‘em and Bag ‘em boys!

[cotton1706]

Cruz is forcing all senators to go on record, and they don’t like it. Stand with conservatives or stand with the democrats. Tough choice for the moderate republican majority in the Senate.

[tennmountainman]

I am as sick as you and the rest of our FR Patriot Posters.

The new congress has not even been sworn in yet and the GOP has already
surrendered.

[Catsrus]

And those re their good points.

There is good reason that one might prefer their horse as a senator. Some things never get old.

[Dave346]

The press needs to stop connecting amnesty with nomination votes. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other!

Reid was going to put the Senate through these nomination votes regardless.

[corbe]

Reid is speed talking the rest of these appointments through, Leahy (pres of senate) sounds drunk, can’t keep up with Reid.

[moovova]

TPM didn’t mention the “fuming” senators, but I’m guessing McLame and Linda?

[lodi90]

Ramming these judges through now is just a little F/U to Cruz. It was going to happen later in the week anyway, supposedly.

[The Cajun]

BUMP!

[Paladin2]

Hatch and Collins?

> “...members of the Senate fumed...”

Good! Good fumes! Take a good whiff Senators; maybe those fumes will wake up a few or your brain cells if you have any left.

[Diogenesis]

EXEMPT McCain upset that someone, somewhere
is trying to protect the Constitution -— instead
of slavers?

[LostInBayport]

I have never in my life seen a group of more despicable, loathsome, disgusting people as the damned republican party.

After the events of this week, I agree completely. I witnessed a group of people get a prime opportunity from the voters of America delivered to them on a silver platter. They took that platter, dumped its contents into the nearest trash can and melted the platter into coins. About twenty pieces to be precise.

[jazusamo]

Let ‘em fume, when criminals worry the most is when they’re being closed in on.

GO Cruz, Lee and Sessions!

[Michael.SF.]

Like Obama says: By all legal means

0bama said that? I am surprised.
