I thought we were teasing each other. Apologies if I insulted you.

I approve! Whether or not there is any truth behind this, Senator Cruz makes a great bogeyman. If the Ctrl-Left is willing to step aside on the Gorsuch nomination to have more leverage for stopping a possible nominee, that’s a big win for President Trump and for America.

The argument should be as to why you have to nominate another liberal to replace a liberal.
Forget Cruz,that would just change the focus to an individual.
I prefer to focus on appointing a person who respects the original intent of the Constitution

The premise that the next fight, which would actually tilt the SCOTUS to the right, will be the bigger fight seems right. Can't speak for the rest - Cruz would be great on SCOTUS but he's pretty young and still ambitious enough that I can't see him accepting such a nomination should it be offered.

Right now, the Dems need to keep telling themselves they have a strategy so they don't OD on pills....

Cruz cites statutory law (8 U.S.C. §1401) as his authority for eligibility for POTUS. Cruz knows fully well that it is the Natural Law definition as defined in 'The Law of Nations' which governs who is a natural born Citizen of the United States.

§ 212. Citizens and natives. The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

I thought we were discussing SCJ not POTUS.

I agree he cannot become POTUS but, you are bringing up POTUS.

Non-Sequotor?

Not arguing. Maybe a I missed a point....

Is the subject SCJ or POTUS?

If it’s POTUS, no discussion necessary, as he is not qualified.

If it’s SCJ then he is brilliant...

If Cruz is so brilliant, why does he reject the originalist view that Natural Law governs who is a natural born Citizen?

He is not qualified for POTUS and obviously so, yet he did run. When confronted about this he said that he “was not going to discuss the legality” and “would leave it to others”. He didn’t perform even the slightest due diligence.

He supported the sovereignty crushing TPP.

His behavior during the campaign.

He’s sloppy, globalist, and ill behaved when faced with adversity. He has neither the temperament nor honesty required of any judge.

I'm a literal kind of person, so no, at first I didn't realize that you were just hacking around.

I suggest that you read your later posts to me and try to explain just HOW calling me a bitch, is just "teasing".

And when asked the question : WHAT IS A NBC ?, on a call in radio show, in Texas, when he was running for the Senate, what YOU posted is the exact answer that Cruz gave. Ergo...he knew/knows that his primary run was ILLEGAL/ counter to the wishes of the FFs and what's in the Constitution of this nation, where he was NOT born and whose father was NOT a citizen of, at the time of his birth!
