Yeah, I know - but for the life of me I am unable to understand why so many FReepers and others do not see the logic of that argument. It just baffles me.

The sad thing in all of this is that I like senator Cruz, even while he is not my candidate of first choice. BUT, I desire that we uphold our Constitution over all else, because, failing that duty, nothing else will matter.

Indeed.

You don’t even want to get me started on the other ways that the most important aspects of the oath to support and defend the Constitution are being completely ignored.

If Cruz would lead the charge for judicial review with the Supremes, and meanwhile continue his campaign "in good faith" considering the similarities between his status and Obama's and Obama's successful execution of the office of President, he'd be in the clear. No matter which way the Court decided, he'd be grandfathered in as he acted in good faith, did not dodge the issue, and worked to put it before the one Court having the authority to resolve the issue. And, should America vote him into office (which I would help to do), he'd already be in office, as Obama was, prior to any decision from the high court. Like Obama, this would make him mighty difficult to retire outside of impeachment, and after eight years of Obama that isn't going to happen. It's such an easily win-able strategy, I'm genuinely surprised Cruz is instead frustrating his base with the "nothing to see here" routine.
