So TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT?
Should the sins of the father be visited upon the son?
No, but that is not the worst threat we currently face.
Your concern about protecting article II at the expense of far greater constitutional matters is the equivalent of "a nickle holding up a dollar."
Otherwise known as "Penny wise, and Pound foolish."
Yes, article II is an important constitutional provision, but compared against the much larger stack of far more important constitutional issues, it is trivial.
Trump may meet article II, but will he appoint rational judges? Will he appoint more judges that give us law like "gay marriage"?
I think he will.
And by the way, Hillary and Bernie are both "natural born citizens", but would they be better for protecting the Constitution than Ted Cruz?
