"This is a vote for the Constitution and for the balance of powers that is at its core. For the executive branch to override a law passed by Congress would make it the ultimate power rather than a balancing power," Romney said in a statement."

Mike Lee wants paid family leave and he want to fund it with Social Security funds!  What was that about the Constitution, Lee?

I don't give a single rusty crap about Mormons.

Mike Lee has always been a reliable Conservative and has the record to prove it. And Rand Paul, while more of a libertarian in thought, ain't damn far behind.

Cruz is the one going wobbly.
Cruz had his bit to say, too. Made sense to me. Ex post facto laws aren't Constitutional either. Cruz's take was that the current declaration stands, but the law had to be changed to prevent (Democrat) abuse in the future.

Now, that makes sense, no matter who you are.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Don't you mean Lee, Romney and Rand Paul ?  ALL RINO'S.  ZERO TO DO WITH CONSERVATISM.  How do you equate BORDER SECURITY..SAFETY FOR PEOPLE AND OUT SOVEREIGNTY WITH BEING..CONSERVATIVE? 

It is about SAFETY...FIRST.  SURVIVAL.  No wonder I had you on ignore.  Food for thought below. Pedophilia in LDS church?

That's the way I see it as well. (For about the tenth time now.)  Some people seem to have very misguided ideas about how this stuff is actually supposed to work in our Constitutional Republic.

@Bigun

The problem is we MUST stop it now because if we don't,there won't BE a future in America where is will be possible for us to change it.

I can't pin-point exactly when it happened,but we are already WAAAAY past the tipping point when it comes to saving America for us to be playing kissy-face with traitors. We either stop them NOW,or the next step is vigilantism because the next step will be playing kissy-face with them using hatchets.

An end run around a progressive congress is a good thing. Without border security we will lose
the country if we haven't lost it already. The money was allocated legally to the military Trump
(Commander in Chief of US armed forces) is just directing the military to use it for the wall. All
perfectly legal and constitutional says our number one lawyer Bill Barr. The issue will no doubt go
to the SC where Trump will prevail.

Are so saying a commander in the field short of ammo can't use monies allocated for uniforms to
buy bullets? That just plain crazy.

Bullcrap.

I'm pretty sure he off that list now. Rand Paul is catching holly hell from conservative Trump
supporters. He might have screwed up his 2022 chances.

I agree.  He WAS.....now he isn't.  I don't see he point, just because he was once interviewed. HE FAILED TWICE, NOW.
MiKe Lee is a liar.  I am happy Rand Paul is getting flak...I never trusted HOWDY DOODY.  BOTH LEE, PAUL ARE RINO'S...and NT'S...same as Mitt Romney.

   Normally I'd be offended by someone putting me in the same Orbit as Mitt Romney, considering I never voted for the guy (or your guy either for that matter but it's besides the point), @LegalAmerican just cause some of us don't drink the Orange Kool~Aid doesn't make us Haters!

Mike Lee is not a liar.  You (and I) may not agree with this decision, but that does not make him a liar.
