"If it is the case that the federal government is seizing millions of personal records about law-abiding citizens, and if it is the case that there are minimal restrictions on accessing or reviewing those records, then I think Mr. Snowden has done a considerable public service by bringing it to light," Cruz said on June 11, 2013, echoing fellow senator and current presidential candidate Rand Paul.
Well Cruz does like a fight. Let’s see if he is up to it.
FUMR!! Turncoat Gang of eight amnesty pimp!
Ball is in your court now Marco....
Marco smells desperate
Wow, linking to Snowden seems like a desperate hail Mary pass, pretty dirty. Ted ought to swat this like a fly and turn it back on Marco Amnesty.
Rubio = Establishment Trash
Trump/Cruz 2016
I think Marco just teed up the ball for Ted.
Did Rubio slam Rand Paul by name as well?
Cruz is taking the middle ground between Rubio and Paul on this which is where most Americans are.
It is as if we have a badger on the loose inside our house (or one might potentially get in). On one side we have people like Rubio who think we need to cover the furniture with plastic, keep the trash can empty, chain the fridge door closed, sweep up the badger droppings, etc...
On the other hand we have people like Cruz who say, "No we don't need to change our lifestyle (right to privacy) in order to accommodate the badgers (3rd world invaders)."
We need to prevent having badgers (3rd world invaders) in our house in the first place. Then we can go back to living like 1st world civilized citizens with rights to privacy, property and autonomy.
I bet Marco thinks it is a fair trade off to have our daughters groped by the TSA as long as it means we can continue to be a modern "multicultural" society. Personally, I would rather be a uni-cultural society and not have to subject our daughters and mothers to such treatment.
Cruz is absolutely right. There are ways to monitor the bad guys without violating the Fourth Amendment rights of all Americans. Rubio knows that.
Screw Rubio, this is the same dude that worked with Schmuck Schumer on the gang of 8 amnesty bill. He is nothing more than a clone of Jeb.
Rubio, debating Cruz. Lol, it’d be almost like infanticide.
I don’t think this will get any traction for Rubio, considering the American people are pretty solidly AGAINST the government collecting all this data on us.
Divisive comment from Rubio, but some of us view Snowden as a hero.
“Treason” has a long history of being a justifiable and righteous act when the “treason” is against tyrants and wicked leaders.
Rahab the prostitute committed treason against Jerico and joined the winning team.
The founders of this nation committed “treason” against our British overlords.
