Senator Cruz is calling out the former president. He knows how bad the previous administration was for this country.
And Ted Cruz knocks Biden to his knees with a spine-tingling rebuke.
The Biden administration’s final days were marked by a shocking abuse of power that threatens the very foundation of our constitutional republic. Reports have surfaced that former President Joe Biden and his team used an autopen—a mechanical signature device—to ram through thousands of pardons and commutations, sidestepping the sacred checks and balances meant to protect the American people. This isn’t just bureaucratic laziness; it’s a deliberate attack on the rule of law.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has taken a bold stand against this outrage, penning a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, first collected by Fox News Digital. He’s calling out Biden and his inner circle for what he sees as a blatant violation of the Constitution’s requirements for presidential pardons.
“These core Constitutional requirements, considerations, and expectations were demolished in the final months of the Biden administration for partisan and personal motives by President Biden, his family, and his top officials,” Cruz declared.
The numbers alone are staggering. In December, Biden’s team commuted the sentences of roughly 1,500 inmates and pardoned 39 others. Then, in a jaw-dropping move, they issued another 2,500 commutations in a single day—the most ever by any president. This wasn’t a thoughtful act of mercy; it was a rushed, politically charged fire sale of clemency that reeks of agenda-driven governance.
As a key member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and chair of the Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights, Cruz is stepping up to demand accountability. He’s offered to assist Bondi in ongoing investigations a suspected abuse of the autopen. The presidential pardon power, laid out in Article II, Section 2, requires a direct chain of custody from the president himself.
“Everyone involved in the process — government officials purporting to issue a pardon, the person to whom it is being granted, judicial and law enforcement officials, and most of all the American people — should have absolute confidence a pardon was granted at the president’s explicit direction,” Cruz stated. Yet, evidence suggests Biden may not have been directly involved, casting a dark shadow over the legitimacy of these actions.
A bombshell report from Axios uncovered emails showing that even Biden’s own officials were uneasy about the process. They raised concerns about how pardons were selected and the heavy reliance on the autopen. This wasn’t a careful, case-by-case evaluation but a blanket approach based on broad criteria, raising questions about who benefited and why.
Cruz didn’t hold back, warning that Biden’s team “implemented a process that separated the President from officials responsible for signing pardons on his behalf.” This disconnect means those signing the pardons “could not know if they were doing so at the President’s direction, either on a-case-by-case basis or as a matter of criteria,” he stated. That’s not just sloppy—it’s a potential constitutional crisis.
The implications are massive. If Biden wasn’t personally directing these pardons, their validity could be in question. Cruz warned that this risks eroding public trust in the entire clemency process. “If the integrity of the clemency process was broken by Biden officials, such that the relevant actions were not taken at the President’s direction, the status of the pardons and commutations would at a minimum be cast into doubt, and the officials involved in approving and using the autopens should be held accountable,” he said.
This scandal exposes a deeper rot in Washington, where elites think they can bend the rules to suit their agendas. The autopen’s use suggests a cavalier attitude toward one of the president’s most solemn duties. Were these mass commutations a desperate bid to burnish Biden’s legacy or a favor to political allies? The American people deserve answers.
Cruz’s push for transparency is a rallying cry for patriots who believe in the Constitution’s enduring principles. The pardon power isn’t a toy for bureaucrats to play with—it’s a sacred trust that demands accountability. By relying on a machine to sign off on thousands of clemencies, Biden’s team treated justice like an assembly line, not a deliberate act of mercy.
The Justice Department is already investigating, and Cruz’s leadership ensures this won’t be swept under the rug. If it’s proven that Biden’s team acted without proper authority, the legal fallout could be seismic, potentially invalidating thousands of pardons and commutations. This isn’t just about one administration’s missteps—it’s about protecting our system from future abuses.
For too long, the establishment has assumed they can operate without scrutiny. Cruz’s stand is a reminder that the American people won’t tolerate their Constitution being trampled. The pardon process must be transparent, deliberate, and above reproach—not a backroom deal signed by a machine.
This fight is about more than just pardons; it’s about restoring faith in our institutions. The Biden administration’s reckless actions have cast doubt on the integrity of our government, and it’s up to leaders like Cruz to hold them accountable. The American people are watching, and they demand a system that respects the rule of law.
As investigations unfold, the pressure is on to uncover the truth. Was this a calculated move to push a partisan agenda, or simply gross incompetence? Either way, those responsible must face consequences. The Constitution isn’t a suggestion—it’s the bedrock of our nation, and it’s time to defend it.
Cruz’s letter is a call to action for every citizen who values justice and accountability. The Biden autopen scandal is a wake-up call: we can’t let Washington elites erode our constitutional protections.
