Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) continues to argue that President Obama's forthcoming action on immigration is unconstitutional, writing in _Politico_ that he is acting "like a


monarch." "He is defiant and angry at the American people," Cruz writes. "If he acts by executive diktat, President Obama will not be acting as a president, he will be


acting as a monarch." Obama will announce executive action on immigration in a speech Thursday night. Cruz suggests that Republicans respond by blocking virtually all judicial nominees


and withholding funds for Obama's immigration plan by passing piecemeal government spending bills. SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEK Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus
