“Cruz is the constitutional conservative that Free Republic has been hoping for since its inception.”
Well, according to Mark Levin, Cruz, your Incarnation of the United States Constitution, helped knock a hole in it with the Corker bill. The Corker bill upended and reversed the treaty protection of the Constitution. While every bill requires 51 votes to pass, the Corker bill required a 67 vote disapproval to kill it (not to pass it, but to kill it).
I am a Constitutional conservative, and that was NOT what I had been waiting for. Not to mention the little item about granting atomic weapons to a terrorist state.
The Corker vote and the tactics behind have been explained on FR many times before, you either missed it or are ignoring it. If you need links, I’ll be happy to provide them, but I suspect that you would rather spread libelous innuendo.
I guess we are doomed to elect humans to office, and all humans have frailties, foibles and histories we may not like.
I’m looking at this election as a last chance to avoid the fundamental transformation of this country from a representative republic to an oligarchy of big government perpetuated by big donors.
For me, it’s a question of who is best positioned and inclined to stop it. Right now, for me, that’s Trump.
Cruz is a close second, but his reliance on big donors and his votes on a couple of key issues are troublesome. If he really is set to take on the current Uniparty power structure, I fear that his Canadian birth will be enough for the Supreme Court to nullify him.
For those that don’t think the court would interpret the law in such a way as to do this, I guess that if recent decisions the court has made won’t give you pause, nothing will.
