If you truly call yourself a true conservative....then you cant possibly let this one go. The United States President is an extremely important and most powerful and revered leadership position. That is why the founders made it harder to obtain than any other leadership position. Just because someone else fraudulently gamed the system last time. Doesn’t mean we should just continue to do the same thing. Cruz is betting that everyone will give him a pass because of Obama.
This in my opinion is called deviant behavior at best. Fraudulent behavior at worst. Even though Cruz would do a good job as President, he should respect the rules of the founders. Especially when he calls himself a constitutional conservative!
He is a constitutional conservative. I studied ConLaw for two semesters in law school, made law review, got my Illinois law license, and have litigated ballot access matters in Cook County, and I am persuaded that Cruz has a strong case for eligibility to run for President. The Constitution uses a term that is capable of more than one interpretation, depending on one’s view of the history of the document and the men that crafted it, their resources, their influences, etc. Cruz is doubtless one of those who believes, as I do, that the British common law was a central source of the constitutional language, that the founders did not draw as sharp a line between that common law and statutory refinements to it, and that the specific citizenship criteria of Vattell is nowhere written into the constitution and is therefore, at a minimum, debatable. That is a fair position. There are several cases that gum around the edges but none produces a brightline rule that will infallibly guide in the case of presidential eligibility. Under these adverse conditions, it is as right and constitutional for Cruz to assert his eligibility as it is for anyone else who might have a reasonable claim to NBC status.

That mindset is what bothers me the most. Cruz knows he is not qualified, but continues with this deceit, hoping we give him a pass. The dems are hoping so too..they are going to tie this up in court until we all quit breathing.
