Ted Cruz Says Second Amendment Will Be Written Out of the Constitution If Any of These Presidential
The Blaze ^ | Feb. 14, 2016 | Kaitlyn Schallhorn

The Texas senator told NBC’s Chuck Todd Sunday morning that he is looking forward to debating either of the Democratic presidential contenders on the future of the Supreme Court. However, according to Cruz, it isn’t just the two Democrats who could immeasurably alter the interpretation of the Constitution, in particular when it comes to gun rights.

“If Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders wins, or for that matter, if Donald Trump wins — whose record is indistinguishable from them on a great many issues — then we will see the Second Amendment written out of the Constitution,” Cruz said.

Cruz also said that should Trump or Clinton be elected, “we will see unlimited abortion on demand.”

“Partial birth abortion, taxpayer funding, no parental notification, and we’ll also see our religious liberty torn down, our basic rights,” Cruz said.

Cruz has argued that Clinton would have the Supreme Court dismantle the Second Amendment as he campaigned in Iowa as well as in South Carolina.

We must vote to protect our Second Amendment rights and all our constutional rights -- by choosing a candidate who stands for the Constitution.

Wow, you are depending on a Canadian to save the constitution? His first act as POTUS would be to violate it.

Be careful about loving a person who practices lying.

Revelation 22
12 "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."
14 Blessed are those who gdo His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

“he is looking forward to debating”

That’s the problem, Cruz is always looking forward to debating. I wish he would look forward to actually getting something down.

And Congress is going to go along? Why should we be concerned with Trump as president if Obama couldn’t change it

Desperate Cruz is actually pulling it all out of his rear end now. Cruz always came off as so smart. Sad.

If Cruz is elected, the part requiring the President to be a Natural Born Citizen will be written out of the Constitution.

The SCOTUS can’t write it out. The right comes from God.

What they can do is start a war aver it.

Cruz is REALLY going off the deep end. Still, who can blame him? He’s getting ready to be blown out of the water by Trump in S.C. in five days, which means Cruz’s campaign is effectively over for all practical purposes.

I agree.

Who would that be?

The guy everybody says is the best on the Constitution ignores that it says he can’t be President.

Just like the current “Constitutional Scholar”

Yep, Cruz is a liar.

Hillary for sure, Trump, not at all.

Ted is a born loser.
