To put it in a word theyve given up. Theyve given up legislating and are going to spend the next several months holding a series of show votes which are in essence those designed to highlight poll-tested messages. I would think the American people would expect and certainly they would deserve better than that from the United States Senate.
What we need is a Senate and a Congress that is more focused on creating an economic condition where the American people can find jobs rather than politicians who are focused solely on saving their jobs."
Senator Cornyn serves on the Finance and Judiciary Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committees Immigration Refugees and Border Security subcommittee. He served previously as Texas Attorney General Texas Supreme Court Justice and Bexar County District Judge.
