If Cruz got Rush Limbaugh to say something complimentary about him, that is quite a feat, since Rush has mentioned his name hardly at all, much to my disappointment. So you might say he picked up an important follower there.
The fact that he mentioned him in a way that really helps him...calling him such a dedicated conservative...is icing on the cake.
I am going to attempt something here, even though I don’t think it will work:
The Constitution has not changed at all regarding “Treaties.” What is necessary to pass them has not changed. What has changed, to the disgrace of congress for some time, is they allowed treaties to be called something else...agreements, deals, understandings, etc.
I understand there have been such euphemistically named bills on 123 occasions. Until we face the semantics on this, we can not solve the problem. As John Kerry stated
“It’s impossible to pass a treaty.” Ergo, let’s change the name of the bill. That is, in my opinion, the disgrace.
If I am wrong, it is not beneath me to apologize.

No it hasn’t; it took the Corker bill to make an end-run around the Constitutional treaty protection.
