Cruz stated his position clearly and honestly.
I support him given his explanation.
I don’t, and I don’t want the Congress to legitimize potential Obama acts that he could make as Executive under EO’s, frankly. The difference with TPA/TPP and future pacts is that the bar is too high to defeat them and no chance of amendment. Once passed, they become law. EOs doing the same thing which he could have done anyway are not and can be undone.
At this point I still support him, but I don’t accept his explanation.
Please show us where Cruz acknowleges, and justifies his vote for, the provision in TPA removing the filibuster and reducing the final vote to a simple majority.
Keep in mind before you respond that he’s the guy who successfully shut down the government by using the filibuster.
My parents always taught me that lies of omission were still lies. And lies aren’t “honest.”
