Another Example Of A Boob.

       One of my all time favorite politicians and current Senator, Ted Cruz of Texas, got the opportunity to question former acting Attorney General Sally Yates about her refusal to defend President Trump's first travel ban yesterday. As a lawyer, of which I believe he is overly proud, he read a portion of a US code allowing the President to withhold entry visas of any group of foreigners who might pose a danger to our society.
       He asked if she was aware of that provision with his usual superior attitude. But she, also a lawyer, of course, was ready for him. She responded that she was, in fact, aware of that code, but that she was also aware of another code which states that the President may not bar entry to America because of race, nationality or place of birth. This is exactly the point used to defeat that ban in the courts.
       Senator Cruz seemed to be taken aback by that (as Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe called it)  that home run. Once again Senator Cruz wound up with egg on his face looking like the fool he really is. It's hard to imagine why Texans continue to elect such buffoons. My guess is they have no real respect for our government. I have to admit, there are times I actually agree with their position. The Republican TrumpCare bill is a case in point.
       The main thrust of the Senate hearings where Ms. Yates testified was the concerns she had about Michael Flynn and his lies and discussions with Russian spies. I'm afraid I just do not understand President Trump's continued defense of the man.
