Dear Sen. Cruz,
The Washington Times reports that you warned Pres. Obama to stop spending on amnesty plans for illegal immigrants.
Congratulations. By your statement, you are obviously opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants and the spending of federal funds thereon.
However, I am somewhat concerned about your use of the term "warning", which is similar to "threat", and always implies that there will be some retaliation if the initial action is carried out.
Before the federal government intervened with children's privacy through the schools, the boys used to have a standard procedure for resolving conflicts. One of the contestants would put a wood chip on his shoulder and encourage the other contestant to knock it off. The implication was clear that if the chip was knocked off the shoulder, a physical fight would ensue. Clear-cut. If you do so and so, I will do so and so in retaliation.
Which brings us to your challenge. The likelihood is that Pres.
Obama will knock the chip off the shoulder by ignoring anything said by a federal judge or by you or other members of Congress. What then do you plan to do about it? What is your retaliation? If you don't have a specific retaliation in mind, you should not have made the challenge. If you have a specific retaliation in mind, why keep it secret? Let us all hear what it is.
