To liberals, his political positions sound as nutty as Palin's or any other tea party goober, but with Cruz, those positions are grounded in legal training and expressed in the context of longstanding conservative philosophical principles that define the proper size and scope of government.

This is why they're nervous. Senator Cruz actually understands and will be able to articulate the Constitution. They're beginning to discover that he's not some rube that's going to stammer in front of a podium.

However, there is a narrow group of conservatives in the legal world who... ...believe the words of the Constitution mean exactly — and only — what they say. They would be happy to roll back most of the jurisprudence of the last couple centuries. Ted Cruz is one of those people.

He says this like it's a bad thing.

I wish someone would sponsor a debate on constitutional law between Cruz and Dershowitz — or Barack Obama

Yes, I'd like to see this as well.

I'd pay money to see two Ivy League trained lawyers, say, hypothetically, Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz, debate. Good thing is, it'll probably be free and on every network.
