Ted Cruz Set To Gain Powerful Position On Capitol Hill

Trending Politics News

Long a lightning rod for partisan debate, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is on the verge of wielding sweeping authority as the incoming chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. Fresh off his reelection victory, Cruz is set to leverage this powerful position to shape the nation’s regulatory landscape, with Republicans now in control of the Senate.

The committee’s purview—spanning telecommunications, transportation, and energy—offers Cruz a stage to champion his vision of limited government and unfettered markets. From regulating commercial space exploration to confronting antitrust issues involving tech giants, the committee will give Cruz a high-profile platform to advance his legislative priorities.

“Being the chairman of the commerce committee comes with an incredible amount of power,” said Kevin DeGood according to the Houston Chronicle. DeGood is the director of infrastructure policy at the Center for American Progress. “Their mandate is so wide, Sen. Cruz could hold hearings on almost any topic he likes and use that to advance his own conservative agenda.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Opps. My bad.  I got my exercise in though.  Jumping to conclusions.  So I have that out of the way!
