Observe the following exchange between Senator Cruz and Senators Feinstein and Durbin:
I appreciate the way Cruz has hit the ground running on arrival in DC. No “go along to get along”… he’s making his presence known in a large way. He’s getting under the skin of not only the Democrat liberals… but also the entrenched GOP RINOs. In this case, he schools Feinstein and Durbin and he makes it stick.
We DO need to support our legislators when they do well, not just whine when they don’t. Here’s the letter I just sent to the Senator:
Just dropping a “thank you” for sticking to the constitution and for refusing to back down when your valid points were NOT answered by Senators Feinstein and Durbin regarding why their handling of the individual right in the 2nd amendment would not be appropriate in the case of the 1st or the 4th.
Their transparent attempts to marginalize your input by alluding to your comparatively short tenure in the Senate backfired. All it did was prove they’ve been there long enough to know better than what they are doing. [C’mon… term limits, please.]
I really appreciate the way you’re representing our state. The senate needs more like you. Keep up the fight. Your work is appreciated. Somebody has to point out the emperor’s new suit is non-existent… and most of the long term occupants of DC are not up to the task. You on the other hand, clearly are.
Respectfully submitted,
Rob Jones

As a temporarily displaced Texican, I took the liberty of firing the good Senator a thank you note too, Rob. Sure hope his willingness to swim against the current is contagious!
Half tempted to fire one off to Feinstein too, and ask her to prove her “I’m not a 6th grader” allegation… prob’ly not a good idea, though. Sixth graders don’t deserve the comparison.

Good move Doc.
Yeah, bothering to talk to Feinstein at this point is a waste of effort. See also: Reasons not to wrestle a pig.

Her reference in the video….”I walked in, I saw people shot. I’ve looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons. I’ve seen the bullets that implode”, is an obvious reference to the Milk/Moscone murders in SF.
Sadly, she forgot to mention that they were murdered with White’s police issued revolver loaded with simple hollow points….neither of which are banned under her ridiculous bill.
