“It is to humor him at best. There is no way in the world that Cuban Canadian Lyn’ Ted belongs on our Supreme Court.”

There are some guys on here who have CDS (Cruz Derangement Syndrome). If Trump and Cruz have come to peace, why can’t some of you toward him. He would be great on the Supreme Bench, although I hate losing his voice in the Senate.

And by the way, he’s not Cuban. he’s not Canadian. He’s an American! He may or may not possess the Constitutional qualifications for President (many scholars disagree) but he is just as American as those of you who throw out nasty statements about him!

It’s not about CDS for me. There was a lot to criticize Cruz for in 2016, but not wanting him on the Supreme Court has nothing to do with that. He is an American citizen, but is not a natural born citizen, and yet he believed he was Constitutionally qualified to serve as president. So much for Ted the originalist.

For the most part Cruz has been a good ally of Trump’s since he was elected, but he needs to be kept on a short leash. The 2016 campaign revealed how easily Cruz is willing to compromise his conservative ‘principles’ if it serves his personal ambitions. Besides his distinctly un-originalist views on natural born citizenship, he also has argued in the past that birth right citizenship is essentially written in stone and can’t be eliminated without an amendment to the Constitution. I’m not sure but I believe he may have backtracked from that position since Trump was elected, but either way it demonstrates questionable Constitutional interpretation on his part and just goes to show how his positions on constitutionality are easily swayed by politics.

He is a loser. Lion Ted is a Canadian, Cuban, and most recently in American. He’s not a natural born citizen, is not suitable for the supreme court, probably not for local dogcatcher. It is really a shame that people want to continue shilling for him.
