Meanwhile Ben Jacobs at the Daily Beast says: In Harvard Law Review, Ted Cruz Blows Dog Whistle for Conspiracy Nuts "........the genius of Ted Cruz is that he launched a 10,000-word broadside, replete with 181 footnotes, against the scale and scope of the modern federal government this week in a publication considered by many to be the bastion of liberal elitism—the Harvard Law Review. In the article, one can see within the essay appeals to those on the far right concerned about Agenda 21, NAFTA superhighways, or any of a range of other conspiracy theories, yet all buried within the tight legal argument and presented in a high-minded way that passes muster in Cambridge, Mass."...........

and treaties do not override the Constitution

if they try, they need to face a coup or revolution

Cruz played on their playground, kicked their snooty tails and they're not happy. Go Cruz!

Single Paragraph argument/proof:
Much of the Constitutional confusion comes about from a failure to understand authority, as Jesus said:
The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. — John 13:16
So then, something enacted under power/authority granted by the Constitution cannot exceed the Constitution itself. Moreover, if the Constitution restricts that authority, then the attempt to seize such is nothing short of rebellion.

The Harvard law Review. I’ve heard of this. Is there any other politicians that we can read what they have written in there?

Cruz is a genius and a scholar. A great man. But will he have to corrupt himself to get elected at the national stage?

My Goodness, that is interesting!

The “Lyin’ King” claims he was the EDITOR of the Harvard Law Review for a length of time, and yet there is no record of any articles by him.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz, who makes no such claim, has an erudite and interesting article in the very same magazine.

The Left has no one as brilliant as Sen. Ted Cruz. He must lead a righteous life, because one iota of a failing will bring the hounds of the ungodly down on him, led by the Leftist hit squads in the media who are dying to discredit him

We pray for him and his family in our family prayers every day and urge all Christians to do likewise.
