Speech #1130127799

Unfortunately. some of my friends on the other side have joined in the politics of obstructionism. Now they want to prevent a duly elected President from filling a position they themselves feel is of paramount importance. They have railed about the need for strong Immigration and Customs Enforcement. and now. given the chance finally to confirm a Director of ICE to give them the strong enforcement they have demanded. they refuse. they obstruct. they delay. and they reverse their positions from when they voted for her to be a U.S. attorney. They now use her nomination to score political points with their base because they disagree with the Presidents politicsnot with the qualifications of the nominee. but with the Presidents policies. Sarah Saldana is qualified. and Senators CRUZ.
