I think they get it; Daniel just forgot to add the winky face.
And not one reporter ever points out to Cruz that Bush and Reagan had far more executive actions. Not one. Worst yet, reporters will now take Cruzâ talking points and turn them around into questions at the next WH press briefing and on the Sunday talk shows instead of questioning the fundamentals of the points themselves.

So this would be new how?
I think it has actually. Note: you said the population of Latino voters, not just the population of Latinos. As a result, we must include in the calculus some factor for how many of said Latinos have had their votes suppressed.
I think thatâs missing an âexcept.â
One need only look to his father, Rafael, to explain Tedâs lunacy.

I believe he has entered his next life.
Cruz says, âthe new Senate Majority Leader who takes over in Januaryâ
This leads me to think Mitch may not be what he thinks he is.
Depends on how you want to define ânatural-born.â
To the Founders, it meant born in US territory.
To those who oppose Obama, it means born in US territory with two parents who were born the same wayâwith sworn witnesses.
To Cruz, it means whatever he says it means at any given moment.
Cruz is a US citizen because his mother isâbut whether he is ânatural-bornâ is open to much debate and discussion. If he runs for president, I foresee a great deal of back-and-forth about this issue.

I define it the same way the US Code does,.The Constitution only recognizes two kinds of citizenship: natural (i.e. a citizen at birth) and naturalized (i.e., not born a citizen but having been granted citizenship upon application).
8 U.S. Code § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
âŚ
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years
By law, Cruz is a United States citizen at birth. People can argue and discuss all they want, but thatâs the way it is. Donât believe everything you read on the birther web sites. There are only two types of citizens recognized by the Constitution, natural and naturalized. If youâre not one, youâre the other. Unless, of course, youâre not a citizen at all.

Of course that wonât stop him from running, because IOKIYAR
Exactly. Get in line, Ted. Every GOP member of Congress has 2 or 3 pet topics they want to advance by taking the appointees hostage.
Besides, isnât the exec action on immigration supposed to lead to a government shutdown, an impeachment, defunding of every program Dems favor, and a lawsuit submitted to the Supreme Court?
It must be hell at Fox news right now figuring out which reaction they should be pushing for after Obama announces his plan.
I t is quite evident that all this âdangerâ is really about the tea gops being in the soupâŚThey have no intention of passing anything but BORDER SECURITY BS and the EO from President Obama puts them in the danger zoneâŚThe congress House under the gop bags let a bipartisan Bill gather dust for 18 months âŚwith no guts or aptitude to put it on the floorâŚNow PRESIDENT OBAMA has allowed them to show their flabby arses as anti-Immgrant and anti-CHILDREN and anti-Women
No wonder they are freaking out daily! They got and have done nothing and it ssis in the headlights for all to see! Stupid stupid stupidâŚDeliciousâŚ
Grubergate nonsense is the new tea gop BENGHAZIâŚVacuousâŚ
All this GoOPer bragging about drastic steps theyâll surely take when something happens that they donât approve⌠Someoneâs going to get hurt in all that pushing and shoving to get in front of the cameras. Also oooh, boogedy, boogedy theyâre so scary! They can relax. Obamaâs not going to nominate anyone whoâs not a corporatist or New Dem to anything above a deputy assistant!
Except the Senate no longer goes on recess, a tactic started by the Dem Senate to stop recess appointments by Bush.
Even if the Senate is conducting no business, and states that it will conduct business, it is in session, the Supreme Court agreed, if it says it is in session and it has the ability to conduct business if it chose to. The Supreme Court might allow appointments when the Senate is away more than 10 days, even if the Senate says it is in session, but that isnât a certainty.
True. Itâs a precedent set by the Dems over the appointment of Bolton.
Both parties are guilty of mindlessly setting some precedents that have com back to bite them lately.
But it felt so gooood at the time.
Please proceed, Senator jack*zz
Apparently. Itâs simple. Not only is he a Republican, he is the darling of the Teanderthals, who have a big following in Texas (48% support, the highest in the nation). Texas hasnât sent a Democrat to the Senate in over 20 years.
Cruz is a classic demagogue. He manipulates people through their fears. He often appears stupid, but in actuality he is sly, devious, and cunning and bears watching at all times. Or, as Shakespeare might have put it, âYond Cruz has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.â
