Sen Cruz Urges The House To Pass Trey's Law

Published | Video Starts at 01:08

This is an unreasonable position for the House to take, and indeed, it is not a theoretical position. It is what the House has done on this very bill. On this bill, Senator Ernst introduced it. The Senate passed [Senator Ernst's bill] unanimously. It was sent to the House. And what did the House do? They did not pass the Senate passed bill. Instead, they passed essentially the identical bill, but as a House measure. (01:08–01:11)
