>>> freshman senator ted cruz thinks he's a tough guy. the man who thinks obama care, a risk of government shutdown also said this about president obama .

>> i think president obama is the most radical president we've ever seen.

>> but today we tried to elect senator feinstein. it didn't go too well for the tough guy.

>> namely, would she consider it to apply only to the following books and shall not apply to the congress deems outside of the bill of rights ?

>> let me make a couple of points in response. one, i'm not a sixth grader. senator, i've been on this committee for 20 years. i was a mayor for nine years. it's fine you want to lecture me on the constitution. i appreciate it. just know i've been here for a long time. i've passed on a number of bills. i studied the constitution myself i am reasonably well educated and thank you.

>> thanking senators and called for, quote, a vote. now the full senate and the house need to vote on this bill as wells a the measures in the past week. yes, they do. and we will not be deterred on this issue. does senator cruz think we wouldn't see he's not such a tough guy after all? nice try, senator. but she got you.
