The only thing that doesn't sit well with me about this is the comparison with Julius Ceasar. Ceasar was a brilliant general.

I'm thinking Frank Thring as Herod in King of Kings would be a better fit.

As a side note to this thread please consider the following.

Regarding Sen. Cruz’s statement, I question if state lawmakers hadn’t given up the voice of the state legislatures in Congress by foolishly ratifying the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, if Obama would have been impeached out of office by now.

Hopefully it ends better for Cicero this time around.

Obama is a liar, a deceiver, a puppet, & an imbecile.

B. Hussein Obama will go down in history as the worst, most corrupt President of all time.

Shame on those who voted for such an unqualified, godless, and low-life juvenile delinquent to our highest elected office. One who supports murdering babies, marrying sodomites, and wrecking our economy with his foolish socialist agenda.

This is only Phase 1, Senator Cruz.

Thursday on the Senate floor Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) used the words of philosopher and politician Marcus Cicero who advocated to return to a Republican government after the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar died.

Julius Caesar was not an emperor. He marched on Rome, killed or subjugated his enemies and had himself declared dictator for life. In other words, a tyrant. Cicero hoped in vain that once the dictator was dead, the old way would be restored. But instead a new triumverate was established that eventually led to another civil war and finally to the first true emperor, Augustus.

In return for his desire for a return to republican government, Cicero was murdered by Marc Antony and his tongue and hands cut off and nailed to a post in the forum.

We alone, I say it openly, we the senate are waiting in our duty to stop this lawless administration and its unconstitutional amnesty. I yield the floor.

We need to move to close visa-driven immigration from all related hispanic nations. Because of the number of illegals already in the USA, if we uphold our percentage of annual visas per country-based system, it will take decades for hispanics to again be allowed legal visas. The hispanic coalitions know this so their way of dealing with a self-caused problem is to demand US policy be set aside for a more accommodating 'first-come, first-served' immigration policy that naturally gives preferential treatment to hispanics. Allowing unfettered immigration and preferential treatment will destroy the national identity of the USA the percentage system is designed to preserve. Racial tensions will increase as new arrivals continue to balkanize into segregated communities, each competing for government benefits, each demanding special rights (race-based police/city management hiring, etc) - exactly what our immigration policy is designed to prevent.

Unless he files articles of impeachment, we are wondering the same thing. Love ya, Ted, and I think you are in a position to be a great leader, but unless you actually do something you are no better than the person you bitch about.

Three steps:

Seek an injunction.

Withhold funding.

Start impeachment proceedings on Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, and executive orders.

You know folks, we are presented with the movie format where the good guy always has to have a villian to go up against.  He's not a full hero, until he puts that bad guy down.

I've got a feeling, Obama is our bad guy.  We won't be heros as citizens of this nation until we put the mad dog down.  Figuratively...
