That does nothing to bolster the argument that Mr. Cruz is eligible; I don't think he is, just like I don't think Obama is, and for the same reasons.
Does this mean I dislike Cruz? Far from it; I think he's an excellent statesman, but the point remains that a Constitution whose restrictions were only operative when convenient would be useless.

Or would you say that the Bush bailouts were a good thing because our guys did them? That the Patriot Act was a good thing because our guys passed it? Or the War on Drugs, which has diminished 9 of the 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights, as a good thing because drugs are bad? Would you argue that the ACA ruling was correct because Roberta was appointed under Bush?
