I want to assure you and all Texans that I'm standing up for liberty, defending the Constitution and fighting against the illegal actions of the Obama administration. Recently I had the opportunity to lead a coalition of 26 states and a legal challenge to President Obama's executive amnesty on illegal immigration before the United States Supreme Court. We spoke truth to power. We made the case that Obama isn't an emperor. He doesn't have unlimited authority and in fact he doesn't make the laws. Congress makes our laws. (01:15–01:27)

CLAIM

Asserts that he led a coalition of 26 states in a legal challenge against Obama's executive amnesty.
