Senate Majority-Traitor McConman [who openly declared war on the Tea Party] has an infernal fig leaf ... Professor Laurence Tribe.

Cruz’ general criticism of Tribe is correct, but Cruz never touches on what Tribe says specifically ...

Ted Cruz’s fmr. professor says Cruz is a hypocrite on the Constitution VIDEO
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3384690/posts

Thursday following FBN’s broadcast of the Republican presidential debate, Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe attacked Sen. Ted Cruz ... for his stated on reasoning for his eligibility to run for president of the United States.

According to Tribe, Cruz applies a double standard to his interpretation of the Constitution, to which he deemed Cruz to be a ‘constitutional opportunist’ and a ‘hypocrite.’

‘I’ve done a lot of historical research on it, and so have a lot of other people, and the best evidence seems to be that what they meant... ‘

“The funny thing is, that the kind of guy Cruz is, he’s always been this way. When he was my student he was this way. He’s always said the Constitution always means the same thing that it meant when it was adopted. That’s why he made this funny joke to Trump, you know, saying, the Constitution didn’t change since last September. Well, he thinks it didn’t change since 1788 when it comes to gays and, you know, women and other things. But when it comes to his own ambition, he’s suddenly becomes what he accuses me of being, and it’s a pretty true accusation, a judicial activist. That’s not the guy he is normally.”

I think the new issue, and Peggy Noonan writes about this, is that where is the collegial support for Cruz? No one is coming to his defense. I mean, isn’t that odd?

It tells me that Trump will negotiate and win over these GOPe guys whereas Cruz never will.

Oops. Tribe let his liberal undies show.

Cruz believes the Constitution hasn’t changed “when it comes to gays?” Some scholar.
