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

Posted on 02/15/2016 1:07:23 PM PST by TBP

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.

Bill Clinton said he did not have sexual relations with that woman.

I only know where my governor stands on the 2nd Amendment. (John Kasich). Cruz is a total liar on this issue.

Progessives are hypocrites. Trump is as pro second amendment as his buddy Diane Feinstein.

The Founding Fathers formed the United States, and they did it with the Declaration of Independence.

And I expect that some scurrying rats are going to learn about inalienable rights soon.

We are certain that a President Cruz would appoint a conservative Chief Justice, but “we are only hoping” that a President Trump would appoint a conservative Chief Justice. Got it!

Dear Ted,

Fear Uncertainty and Doubt campaigns only work if folks have limited access to the thruth.

Your Pal,
Eddie

That’s good! And I always imagine Trump emulating Moroni when he finally has enough of Cruz’s lies and declares “Fargin’ War”:

Seems Cruzers can't take the time to look up Trumps actual positions. Cruz "The Face Of God" Worship is sickening.

Ted claims to be a Christian, and then labels Trump’s platform only marginally different than Hillary’s or Bernies.

More lies from Ted.

Ted now claims that Hillary and Bernie support:

Sending illegals home

Building a 60’ wall on our border

stopping the out of control government spending

starting to pay down the national debt

doing away with Obamacare

Opening up stiff competition between insurance cmpanies nation-wide

Expanding payers in the process exponentially

Lowing insurances costs, listing how they’ll do it

Strengthening our military

Taking care of our veterans

Stridently 2nd Amendment support

Aproves and carrys with his CCW permit

Haw suggested there should be a national CCW

Advocates people use their CCW permit

Advocates doing away with the Department of Education

Advocates doing away with Common Core

Advocates returning education choices to the local community

More

Trump is right. Ted is a massive liar.

Your point is incredibly vague. If want to compare Clinton with Cruz please be more specific.

Trump has already named 2 conservatives for consideration. Do these people not meet you litmus tests?

Cruz lavishly praised the wolf in sheep’s clothing named John Roberts. I was shocked when I read his piece from years ago, but I guess I should not be.
