snip... Cruz said those Republicans responsible for confirming Lynch and all the Democrats violated their oaths of office, since Lynch has guaranteed that she will uphold President Obama’s lawlessness, including especially his executive amnesty. Cruz said:
"I have been leading the fight to stop the confirmation of Loretta Lynch—and the reason is simple: Ms. Lynch came before the Senate Judiciary Committee and refused to articulate any constitutional limits whatsoever on the authority of the president. When asked how she would differ from Eric Holder, the most partisan attorney general this nation has ever seen, she refused to state even a single difference. I had wanted to support Ms. Lynch’s confirmation precisely because Eric Holder has so undermined the Department of Justice, and like many others I was eager to see a new attorney general sworn in. But the answers Ms. Lynch gave to the Senate Judiciary Committee over an extended period of questions refused to acknowledge any limits on the president’s power, and she made clear that she intended to be a rubber stamp for unlimited executive power in the hands of President Obama. In my view, no senator—Democrat or Republican—could vote to confirm Ms. Lynch consistent with his or her oath of office. Some say, confirming Loretta Lynch means Eric Holder is no longer Attorney General. But there is a difference. Eric Holder began disregarding the law and abusing his office after he was confirmed. Ms. Lynch looked senators in the eye and told us she intends to disregard the law. For senators to vote to confirm an attorney general in that circumstance means they are complicit in the lawlessness.
... I would note that some of the press had a field day that I was not physically present for the final confirmation vote. For two months...

Love your graphic.
Rush said today that the republican party is afraid to go after women and minorities. We all take that for granted.
What he didn’t answer to is why democrats have no problem doing it - as in blocking G.W. Bush’s nominee for attorney general - Alberto Gonzalez - who would have been the first latino U.S. attorney general, but the “inclusionary” demorats blocked him. I guess Gonzalez was a white latino.
And the reason for that is because the demorats can get away with it. Their voters are clueless and uninformed, and the mainstream media has their back.
One more thing - Thad Cochran has now paid the piper. He voted for Lynch in payment for the African-Americans he paid to vote for him over his primary challenger McDaniel.
10 RINO senators keeping the Dems in power.
That’s right.
I’m just shocked McCain got one right.
I’ll bet he’s on the bottle tonight (Pepto Bismol).
Is there a difference?
How do i get banned on FR?
100% on that. All the others will capitulate.
Ted Cuz’ wife was a member of the CFR? Does that get me banned?
I have no idea, my friend. Why would you want to get banned?
She lied to these sucka##es and they ate it
They HATE Ted. They have to.
Ted is a true profile in courage.
What is CFR?
LAP DOGS...FOR SURE
We should be worried if the leadership is even fond of Ted Cruz.
The quality of our enemies says a lot about us. Ted Cruz has all the right enemies.
They sure did.

there is a difference.... Eric Holder began disregarding the law and abusing his office ‘after’ he was confirmed.... Ms. Lynch looked senators in the eye and told us ‘she intends to disregard the law’.
.....For senators to vote to confirm an attorney general in that circumstance means ‘they are complicit in the lawlessness’.
Cruz was not present for the final vote—meaning he didn’t cast a vote on final confirmation—and he told Breitbart News that’s because cloture is where it could have been stopped.
Any questions why I want this man as President......he stood against this...he stayed standing against it....and then he refused to give anyone cannon fodder for a vote.
..Further calling out those who supported it for exactly as they have shown themselves to be!
Good points. I agree.
I’m fully in his court...but ya know...if he doesn’t get the Presidency he’s going to leave a trail ‘of knockouts’ before he’s done....and he’ll call out all of them on the way!!!
God protect this man.....and foil the plans against him!
That’s the only logical conclusion, since the only way she gets approved is if they approve of her.
