SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): We have seen this play before. It is reminiscent of Obamacare, yet another bill that we were told we’ve got to pass it to find out what’s in it. And, unfortunately, it seems, there are some republicans eager to go along with the democrats in the mad rush to pass this bill. In the 2007 immigration debate, close to 50 amendments were considered. In this debate, only nine have been debated. I introduced seven substantive amendments to improve this bill. Not a single one has been considered on the floor of the senate.
My point is very simple: what is the rush? Why are we proceeding gangbusters? And the only explanation that makes sense is there are many senators it seems in this body perhaps on both sides of the aisle that very much want a fig leaf. They want something that they can claim we are supporting border security when, in fact, this bill does not.
The first and most important difference is this amendment provides legalization first and then border security maybe at some time in the future. We have seen this before. In 1986 it was the same promise congress made, and we got the legalization, we got the amnesty and we never, ever, ever got border security. In contrast, the amendment I introduced reflects the will of the American people to have border security first and only then the possibility of legalization. (read more)

Today, June 24th, is DAY #11 (of 3rd week) State of Florida V. George Zimmerman case. The first day of the actual trial. The previous two weeks were jury selection and the conclusion of the Frye Hearing.
Over the weekend Judge Debra Nelson ruled that State voice identification experts would not be allowed to claim Trayvon Martin was the voice heard calling for help on the 911 call tapes based on unproven science. The jury reported for sequestered duty on Sunday.

You’ll never get the 22 minutes back again, but you’ve come this far….
It’s amazing really to pause and reflect upon the fact THIS, this conversation, this interview, is the ONLY evidence that created the probable cause affidavit and led to the arrest of George Zimmerman. The entire case is established around this. And yet, she’ll never reach the Witness Stand….
Here’s the way you can help and the way we are going to approach this trial.
Unfortunately, because I’m in battle with Miami-Dade, the next few days look sketchy at best for me to review every moment of the trial. I’ve got to coordinate legal pressure on the Shadow Dwellers who are trying to keep a lid on the Trayvon Miami angle. The FOIAs (public records) will reveal the truth – but, as you know, they have a vested interest in waiting until after trial to release. Yes, the information is THAT explosive.
However, that said, after all the research, assembling the characters, and dozens of interviews with people specifically attached to the evidence and witnesses, I/we know hundreds of lies told by potential witnesses for the prosecution. Many of them are on record with claims, affidavits, and some sworn statements that are factually false.
They are not untruthful, they are not misstatements, they are lies.
There is a difference.
A lie is based on a false statement with a specific intention to mislead. (more…)
