Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday lambasted Senate Democrats for making policy arguments about the Affordable Care Act during the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court.
"Let me observe, as Sherlock Holmes famously observed, that 'what speaks the loudest is the dog that didn't bark.' Which is, to date, of every Democrat who's spoken, we've heard virtually not a single word about Judge Barrett," Cruz said.
Accusing Democrats of engaging in "political rhetoric" against President Donald Trump and other Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Cruz asserted that his colleagues on the other side of the aisle are not discussing Barrett's credentials because they are "impeccable."
