Guess who continues to be a little fucking jerk? Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Cruz said the Democratic amendment to the resolution went too far by adding language “purportedly based on a comment Justice Ginsburg made to family members shortly before she passed.”
“This endeavor started with a resolution that the majority put forward that was intended to be a bipartisan resolution commemorating the life and service of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” Cruz said as he objected to an attempt by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to pass the resolution. “Unfortunately the Democratic leader has put forth an amendment to turn that bipartisan resolution into a partisan resolution.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer then gave Cruz a scolding. “I believe Justice Ginsburg would easily see through the legal sophistry of the argument of the junior senator from Texas,” Schumer replied. “To turn Justice Ginsburg’s dying words against her is so, so beneath the dignity of this body.”
