Senator Cruz: Obama Admin Sees Constitution as 'Pesky Obstruction'
Senator Ted Cruz ticked off a list of violations on the Glenn Beck Show on Thursday night that he says shows “a pattern of this administration not respecting the Bill of Rights and not respecting the Constitution.”
“I think they view the Constitution as, essentially, a pesky obstruction to carrying out their agenda,” Cruz said. “Whether it is the First Amendment, going after journalists and the media, seizing their phone records and emails, or trying to take away the right of service men and women to share their faith, or whether it’s the Second Amendment, stripping away our right to bear arms, or whether its the Fourth and Fifth Amendment, either with drone policy targeting Americans, or with the NSA not respecting our right to privacy.”
“Every American,” Cruz said, “conservative or liberal, should be concerned when the federal government arrogates to itself so much power that it admits no limits under the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.”
And perhaps one of the best lines yet from any Republican on Twitter:
Senator Ted Cruz ✔ @sentedcruz
Holder says he won't resign until he accomplishes all his goals. I guess there are still some amendments in Bill of Rights left unviolated…
