Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that he would use any means necessary, including a filibuster, to help ensure passage of a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare.
“I will do everything necessary and anything possible to defund Obamacare,” Cruz said at a press conference with House Republicans on the CR that the House is set to pass Friday that continues to fund the government through the end of the year and defunds Obamacare.
Asked if he would filibuster, Cruz said he would use “any procedural means necessary.”

How about getting back to actually having a damn budget, passing Authorization bills and Appropriation bills through regular order in both chambers????
Or has that process been permanently relegated to the scrap heap of memories of how a Constitutional Republic once operated???
Crap like this is why I can barely stomach the "news" anymore.....

Do you actually expect to see a budget ever again? I don't. Zero has once again corrupted the system by making it fine to just do a CR so no one has to deal with explaining one of those old fashioned messy budgets.

Exactly! (Hence my rhetorical question.) But, I don't need to remind you that he has had willing "partners" throughout all of this. Having no budget is a nifty way for them all to hide their true policy and spending agendas. And, it will always piss me off when I think about it....
