He also, very cleverly and scholarly, engaged Senator Feinstein. Totally epic. In a nutshell, from the video, he is asking her whether or not Congress can pick and choose which other protections in the Bill of Rights they will respect.


They bring up the Heller decision to pretend they get it. Schumer even so much as arrogantly told Sen. Cruz that he didn't understand Heller, going on to explain that Heller confirmed that individual Americans have a right to firearms.

What he, and Dick Durbin, failed to remember is that Senator Ted Cruz was the actual litigant, for thirty-one states as amici before the Supreme Court, in the Heller case.

But, they never answer the real question - Can Congress pick and choose?

So, at the end of the argument, Cruz and Grassley offered a strong alternative in a bill entitled, Law Enforcement Alternative. If covers three main points that this Administration did not want to focus on:

1. Felons and Fugitives illegally purchasing firearms. (This Administration has 48,000 felons, 44 out of the 48,000 were prosecuted)
2. Prosecution of gun crimes (down 30% under this Administration)
3. Funding for School Safety (Administration reduced funding by $300 million)

For our 2A rights - Ted Cruz (2008) stood against George W. Bush, presenting the oral arguments in the companion case to Heller, and wrote an amicus brief, before the Supreme Court, joined by thirty states in support of Heller's challenge to the district's laws.

In a nutshell - The thirty states did not believe, like the District of Columbia, that the 2nd Amendment applies only to militias. They did not believe and argued against the idea that laws infringing American's rights to "keep and bear arms" only become constitutional when in the case a "federal judge" finds them "reasonable".

The Constitution never says that. It says, "Shall not be infringed". The United States Supreme Court agreed with Texas and Ted Cruz won that case for us all. It is settled law that "the enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table". One of those constitutional political choices, made by the District of Columbia, "absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home."

He has a RECORD that can be SEEN as a fighter for our Constitutional rights and for Conservative values. And for that matter, this didn't start a YEAR before he decided to run for President of the United States!

Sister you don't read my postings.

What about open carry? In 2nd Amendment, my right to bear arms shall not be infringed. So, what is Ted's view on open carry? We should be able to openly carry our firearms. Another thing, they aren't assault weapons, they are semi automatic firearms. The terminology is all wrong, because the over 2,000 firearms on Senator Frankenstein's list some aren't semi automatic rifles, some are shotguns, and because they look scary to the unknowing lawmakers they made the list.

Still waiting for an answer on open carry.

Sister, my post specifically mentions NORTH EAST SOUTH and WEST. Will Ted Cruz push for open carry in New City? in D.C.? Keep cooking bacon on rifle barrels at the shooting range in TEXAS.

I am going to have to try that bacon trick! Totally a fun day at the gun range.

Bro., Senator Cruz is a strict Constitutionalist. He would support the 10th Amendment. It wouldn't be his business if NY or DC wanted to ban Open Carry. It wouldn't even be his business if they wanted to approve it.

You don't know him very well to be so vehemently opposed to the man, Sir.

I couldn't imagine crashing a thread with so much aggressive negativity without studying the person's background.

My coming into this thread, was to discuss what I HAVE learned about the MAN. One incidence I viewed and listened to I applauded, as you well know I started a thread about the video. I then came across his slipping on the banana peel and dropping the watermelon at the I.D.C. meeting and was greatly disappointed. I watched Senator Cruz and Senator Frankenstein and liked what I see. But, I understand way too well the whole picture, the senator from Texas has as much finesse as a dog passing gas at a wedding.
I mean every gun owner, tea partier, and right winger drooled like a Pavlovian dog when they saw Ted cooking bacon on a gun barrel, but that is just one portion of this country.

A country who applauded a man dressed like a woman on the cover of a magazine, a country who lighted up their white house in fag flag colors. They don't want Christian Gun Toting President, they already had that with GEE DUB, and the people are still trying to get over all the wounded over in Walter Reed.


Hey, I would love to live in your Texas only dream world, where everyone is conservative, no homosexual pride parades, no Stonewall celebrations, no young women so tattooed that they look like Yakuza bosses, everyone is listening to the Cuban preacher father telling everyone that evolution was designed to teach people atheism so they would be communists, so, so wonderful.

But it isn't going to happen nation wide, it really seems that this country is being turned over to Satan so that it would learn NOT TO BLASPHEME. You see my dear sister the clock is ticking and God is allowing the pieces to come together, instead of answering phones to try to get some three god cosmelan grease fried bacon eater to the presidency, maybe you should be on your face praying that God doesn't incinerate everyone in this country to a charred briquet. We would be fools to be lulled to sleep by any politician that we have not scrutinized, and held him under the hot light of criticism. Because when God sends His wake up call, do you really think your Baptist candidate could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?

Absolutely silly (and foolish) to think just because you vote in an Ultra Conservative Lawyer politician he will make all things new again.
