Breitbart: Cruz Doubles Down: Block Obama's Appointees
Texas Senator Ted Cruz said that Congress should block all of President Obama's nominees -- other than vital national security positions -- until the executive action on immigration is reversed.
Appearing on Monday morning's Fox and Friends, Cruz said that the president "has a very strange view of how our Constitutional system works. He demands the policy he wants, and if Congress disagrees with him he says, 'Well I'm going to enact it anyways.'"
Cruz laid out a "detailed and systematic plan" that Congress can take to push back against Obama's amnesty. He said, "The incoming leader of the U.S. Senate should announce that if the president implements this illegal amnesty, we are going to halt confirming any judicial or executive nominees -- other than vital national security positions....No Attorney General should be confirmed unless that Attorney General makes [it] perfectly clear that they're not willing to be a part of this illegal and unconstitutional amnesty. "
