Will someone explain why in the name of almighty God we can't just do what Senator Cruz is proposing?
There is not a valid reason in this entire universe for not going forward with this.Sen. Ted Cruz (R.-Texas) said today that Republicans in Congress should pass a short-term continuing resolution that defunds President Obama's unilateral amnesty for illegal aliens, and then use every constitutional means at their disposal to stop that amnesty.This, Cruz said, would include blocking confirmation of President Obama's nominees to non-national-security-related Executive Branch positions.The federal government is currently operating on a CR that expires on Dec. 11. Congress must pass a new CR to keep the government funded after that date. If Congress passes a CR that funds the entire federal government through the end of the fiscal year (Sept. 30, 2015), it will essentially strip the incoming Republican majority Congress (which will be seated in January) of its power of the purse.A short-term CR would give the incoming Republican-majority Congress leverage over federal policy, including giving them the power to defund Obama's amnesty through all of this fiscal year.“We should pass a short-term continuing resolution that includes language defunding the implementation of the president’s executive action on amnesty," Cruz said in a statement.
Damn it! Bust a move, Pubs!
