Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.

“This bill would constitute a federal government takeover of elections. It would constitute a massive power grab by Democrats. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans and it would do precisely the opposite of its nominal title, ‘For The People.’ It is, instead, for the politicians because it entrenches politicians and ensures that the people cannot vote them out of office. It would strike down virtually every reasonable voter integrity law in the country, including voter I.D. laws supported by the overwhelming majority of this country, including prohibitions on ballot harvesting, again widely supported by people in this country. It would mandate that felons be allowed to vote, and it would automatically register millions of illegal aliens to vote. It would profoundly undermine democracy in this country, and for that reason I object.”

Thank God for Ted

As far as Chuckie, unless he changes things up, he is bound for Satan's domain.

[Free Vulcan]

We definitely owe him one for that.

[Smokin Joe]

We definitely owe him one for that.

Yes, we do.

While most of us were sleeping the good Senator was working.

Hopefully the anti Cruzers will take note!

Gotta love Ted!!!

Thanks Ted! Was he the only senator to show up?

I find it distressing a bill this major can be passed by Unanimous Consent.

No civilized country should have a person like Hastings in a position to represent anyone.

I think Ted deserves some phone calls and e-mails thanking him!

Well it would certainly balance out all the hate he will be getting from the socialists. China must be pissed.

Death becomes/became him.

What is most sad, that only one single senator came to the rescue.  Where were the other 49?

His numbers went back up in my book. Not all the way, but this is significant.

The article didn't state which senators were present, however it did state that:

Texas Constitution does not permit an impeached person to hold any public office.

As a frequent critic of Cruz and someone who doesn't trust him,I have to give him some serious chops for this one. He stood tall when no one else even bothered to show up.
