Fox News gave Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) the opportunity Friday to say that he would use the confirmation of the next Health and Human Services Secretary as an instrument in his quixotic quest to repeal Obamacare.

He didn't exactly say he would try to block the confirmation of Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell, who was nominated to replace Kathleen Sebelius -- but he didn't exactly pass on it either.

"I think Burwell presents an ideal opportunity to examine the failures that are Obamacare. And four years ago, reasonable minds could have differed over whether this thing might work," Cruz said. "Today, seeing the disaster, seeing the trainwreck that is Obamacare, in my view, it is the essence of pragmatism to acknowledge this thing isn't working. We need to start over, repeal every word of it. Start over."

Cruz's options would appear limited, though, after Senate Democrats detonated the nuclear option on filibusters for confirmation votes.

this makes no sense they want to use an incoming appointee to repeal a 5 years of failed repeals, i say go for it, bring it, it's on let the people know how ridiculously ignorant he and  his party of stupidity are.  were making a list and checking it twice and so far republicans have not been nice, IMO Progressives are in for a early Christmas gift.  that is their biggest problem they think like them and fail to realize it doesn't work anymore.

i really would like to hear how he thinks he can accomplish that, we know all his tricks and coming up with something new they were all absent the day that taught that.
