Ted Cruz clashes with key Democrat over 'second phase of lawfare' through federal judges' orders
[FoxNews] 'Why are the Democrat attorneys general seeking out left-wing, blue swing districts?' Cruz askedSenators Cruz and Klobuchar had a heated moment during a Senate Judiciary hearing Wednesday, and the Republican called federal injunctions a phase of lawfare. (C-SPAN) Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., sparred during a hearing on federal judges' nationwide orders against the Trump administration, and the Democrat dismissed her colleague's claims of "lawfare." "Understand this is the second phase of lawfare," Cruz said during the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing, "Rule by District Judges II: Exploring Legislative Solutions to the Bipartisan Problem of Universal Injunctions." "Now that their efforts to indict President Trump and stop the voters from re-electing him have failed, they're going and seeking out individual radical judges," the Texas Republican claimed. Klobuchar disputed this, telling Cruz the injunctions from federal judges were a result of President Donald Trump "violating the Constitution." "Why would Trump-appointed judges …," the Minnesota Democrat began before being interrupted by Cruz. "Why don't you file them in red districts?" Cruz asked. "Why are the Democrat attorneys general seeking out left-wing, blue swing districts?" Klobuchar claimed the spike in nationwide injunctions from district judges halting Trump administration actions are not because "these judges are crooked or lunatics or evil." And she warned that making such claims could instigate threats and violence against them. Posted by: Skidmark 2025-04-04 |
