I yield for the purpose of that question as well--and they might well. One of the striking things--and although under the rules of the Senate I am not allowed to ask Senator Lee a question, I can pose a rhetorical question to the body, and…
Ted Cruz
The Public Record
Ted Cruz is a United States Senator from Texas, serving since January 3, 2013. A member of the Republican Party, Cruz gained national prominence during his 2016 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. He is known for his conservative positions on issues such as healthcare, immigration, and tax reform. Cruz has been a vocal advocate for limited government and has often positioned himself as a defender of constitutional rights.
I will yield for the purpose of that question as well. Indeed, I can tell you that. Now, you would think, if you call a chain of islands the Canary Islands, it must be a bird, maybe a bird in a coal mine but some sort of bird. Think again…
It is a very good question the Senator from Utah poses, and I would note there is only one way; that is, if you are trying to confuse and deceive your constituents. There is no intellectually honest way to do it. If you ask any rational…
Well, I thank my friend the junior Senator from Utah for his very fine, learned question. It is truly a privilege to serve in this body alongside a constitutional scholar, alongside a Senator who takes fidelity to the Constitution so…
I say to Senator Lee, I do. A lot of people would say it must be black. If we were dealing with ordinary English language, it would be black. But perhaps airplane manufacturers think like Congress because the black box on an airplane is…
I appreciate the question from the Senator from Virginia. Let me say I appreciate the good faith and seriousness with which he approaches this issue and the other issues before this body. One notable thing: Of the three Senators who are on…
I appreciate the question from the Senator from Virginia as well. Look, there is no doubt President Obama was reelected. I wish he had not been. I obviously did not support his election, but the majority of the American people voted for…
I yield for this question. Most would say China. But think again. Chinese gooseberries actually come from New Zealand. The way things are labeled are not always, in fact, what they are.
Well, I thank my friend from Utah for his remarkable discourse on constitutional law. As for the latest question he asked, one might think the Hundred Years War lasted 100 years, but think again. It was 116 years. Things are not always as…
I appreciate the question from the Senator from Virginia. He raises a very good and a fair point. I think that point is particularly valid for those Senators--I would note that all three of the Senators in the Chamber right now were…
Thanks to the work of a whole lot of Texas men and women across the State who really worked their hearts out. Yes, we were privileged to win the primary by 14 points and to win the general election by 15 points.
The Senator from Virginia is correct, and I have stated that I will not vote for a continuing resolution that funds ObamaCare. I believe this body should not vote for a continuing resolution that funds ObamaCare. Why? Because the facts…
