Well, the courts have evolved over the years, so what. It's been 'public interest' for generations and you think it is now a campaign issue? How about Cruz now saying he ran against anchor babies in his bid for the Senate when clearly, unedited, he claimed back then that the 14th amendment supported anchor babies - isn't that more important to voters?
Apparently the opinion of Constitutional conservative has evolved also. It used to be capitalist, America first - as such were the founding fathers. Now, apparently, it's globalist on a piety platform - as such the weaselly politicians like Cruz.
