and this isn’t just about Cruz. I see all sorts of people who could want him declared natural born because they will have their own agenda, and not directly relating to Cruz, but to other candidates down the road.
I see the possibility of foreign entities financially supporting Cruz and his claim in order to supplant their own Manchurian in the future.
This goes far beyond Cruz, and for such a “strict constitutionalist” he should see this, and I know he does, but he doesn’t care. This is all about HIM and those who have a pony in the show.
This is why I don’t trust lawyers. Cruz is no better than any of his ilk. At first I wanted to believe that he was, but he isn’t. He does not have the interest of the Constitution as his top priority, he has Ted Cruz as his top priority.
Many men have given their lives for this country and what it stands for, and folks aren’t even asking Ted to risk his life for his country like many in my Father’s generation and my generation did, but for the best interest of the future of this nation, he should put his presidential aspirations aside, and do the right thing, and uphold the intent of the constitution, not lawyer up and attempt to change the meaning through legal verbiage.
I think America is tired of lawyers telling us what the definition of “is” is. We know damn well what it is.
He may be a great man, but he’d be an even greater man if he put the Constitution above his own personal aspirations.
Completely agree.
Too much of our nation has been given away by the hair splitters seeking a path in the legal language to circumvent our laws. The irony in it is disgusting. More so, the blatant lack of shame in their actions is downright treasonous. They have used their positions in public office to conspire against America and its people without consequence or pause.
On the absolute basics, Cruz has not shown a single US identification document with his name on it. Many thousands of naturalized Americans are equally patriotic as Ted Cruz, that simply doesn’t make them eligible for this job. Not every soldier gets to be a General no matter how heroic they are in battle. A point I see you addressed in a later post.
That’s right, and Cruz should have sought to put this thing to bed in federal court a long time ago. His resistance to doing so makes me seriously question his priorities about his own political prospects versus America’s future.
