Really Big Coloring Book3. Ted Cruz
At 43 years old, Ted Cruz, the Canadian-born Cuban-American
serving as the junior Republican senator for Texas, qualifies as
"young" in the U.S. Senate. He didn't wait for specifics about what
the Obama administration intended to do before calling it "lawless"
and the president a "monarch" who was "defiant and angry at the
American people." Politicians of all stripes should mind drawing
too much consent out of any particular election result barring the
authentic 1984-style landslides. Progressives loved to claim the
2012 election was a "ratification" of Obamacare even though the law
was not on the ballot and President Obama had one of the worst
showings of any winning incumbent president in history, against a
lackluster establishment Republican opponent on whose state
healthcare program Obamacare was partially based. Cruz himself led
the charge in refusing to authorize spending if it included funding
Obamacare, a law. Sounds lawless by Cruz's standards, unless his
standards are limited to partisanship sniping.
House4. Michele Bachmann
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who professes to be faithful to
the Constitution but voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act, also
thought the president's actions, directing deportation toward
security threats and allowing parents of children here legally
outright exemptions from deportation, were somehow an attack on the
American people. "All I heard was contempt for the American people,
as though he thought we were so stupid that somehow, he could say
that his illegal actions were legal and we would all turn over and
roll over and believe it," Bachmann, who did not seek re-election,
said. But Bachmann believes in an exemption to the constitution
when it comes to the war on terror, saying foreigners who come here
to (allegedly) attack U.S. citizens don't deserve constitutional
protections, widely seen by Constitutionalists as a dangerous
erosion of constitutional rights. Who's stupid?
