Here come the birthers.
The only thing about “birthers -” and I am one, ‘cause I don’t think Obama was born here, either that or there is some Big Secret on his birth certificate -
is, the rule has to apply to all, or none.
If we don’t get to see proof positive of Obama’s nativity, I don’t think we should have to see proof positive of anyone else’s.
I want the Constitution to be followed. But not by just half the country.
I’m a birther. And I’d vote for Cruz for president. So what’s your point?
Well, after the ênyan’s presidency, Natural Born, along with the rest of the Constitution is no longer relevant so Cruz has just as much right to be President as anyone else on Earth.
I’m a birther but if we don’t get somebody of substance in the Oval Office real soon there won’t be a Constitution to follow or a country to save. I will gladly vote for Cruz if he still looks this good in 2016.
It would be kind of hypocritical to knock Barry all this time and then shut up for a similar situation except it's your guy.
OTOH, much of law operates on precedent... and for them to start shouting about it now would open themselves up to attack.
I think on this one the Dems have painted themselves into a corner BUT... the right justifiable prides itself on following the law and the Constitution (even when we get clobbered by a lawless opponent backed up by an equally lawless Justice Department when we do it) so if we stand on consistent principle, Ted's out of it.
I don’t care if you don’t give a $hit about the Constitution....Look how well that whole....lets go after him on other issues went.....
You called?
Yes, I've got deep concerns about Ted's constitutional eligibility to hold the office, despite the fact that he's the finest American I've seen rise to the Senate in too many years to count.
In my heart, I know that he's exactly the kind of American the Framers intended to hold that office. They wrote Art. II, Sec. 1, Clause 5 the way they did, as a protection against those with divided loyalties holding the office.
But it was only ever intended as a preventative measure. There's no way to look into anyone's heart and know for a fact how loyal they'll be to the people and to the Constitution.
If they were here today, I think they'd examine Ted Cruz and judge him to be cut from the right sort of cloth to be our CIC.
