Ted Cruz Hates Immigrants So Much That His New Govt. Shutdown Would Even Keep Eric Holder In Place ::posted Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:30:00 +0000:: ift.tt/1C1zxrc Fox News host Chris Wallace pointed out to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Sunday that his latest scheme to shut down part of the government would prevent Attorney General Eric Holders replacement from being confirmed. During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Cruz explained his plan defund the Department of Homeland Security if President Barack Obama refuses to rescind an executive action that grants legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants. The problem is thats almost exactly what you did with the government shutdown across the entire government in October of 2013 in Obamacare, and it backfired badly on your party, Wallace observed. We should use the checks and balances that we have to rein in the abuse of power of the executive, Cruz insisted, adding that step one of his plan was for the Senate to stop the confirmation of any of the presidents nominees for the rest of his term if they were not vital to national security. Are you saying that the Senate should refused to confirm Loretta Lynch, the presidents new nominee for attorney general? Wallace wondered. And, thereby, leave Eric Holder, who you dont like very much, in that position even longer. Cruz, however, ignored the question about Holder, and instead charged that President Obama was ruling by dictate and decree rather than following the Constitution. read more [Forwarded by the MyLeftBlogosphere news engine.
