| Ted Cruz: Harry Reid 'abusing his power' by asking for majority vote on Obamacare |
| 2013-09-23 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] As Congress hurtles towards a government shutdown, Sen. Ted Cruz warned his Senate colleagues that voting to take up a House bill funding government but not Obamacare would actually enable Obamacare's funding. Last week, the House passed legislation that would fund government but defund Obamacare. But Cruz is concerned that taking up the House bill and ending debate on it would allow Senate Democrats to pass an amendment reinserting Obamacare funding with a smaller, 50-vote threshold. |
