However, these guys are constantly labeled as conservatives - though not by me. As for Ted Cruz - I used to think he was a conservative but then he turned weird. I agree Jeff Session and Anthony Scalia are conservatives. For me one of several criteria for labeling somebody conservative is patriotism and another one is opposition to globalism. No patriotic American would ever promote open borders, gush over illegal aliens, and welcome Syrian “refugees.”
Speaking of gushing, what was Mike Lee doing lavishing praise on Elizabeth Warren? Out of the other side of his mouth, he was doing his best to frag the presumptive GOP nominee. With ‘conservatives’ like these, who needs enemies?

Absolutely. One for me is an understanding of the U.S. Constitution.
I’d bet dime to donuts 90% of all Congressman/Senators could not recite the bill or rights, even in a paraphrased form. It is the ignorance of our constitution and the lack of study of the intent of the bill of rights that lends itself to various idiotic interpretations, thereby eroding liberty.
