Well, in a make believe world, that might be a great idea, but to my knowledge he cannot do that.
Some TV lawyer suggested he could petition the court for a declaratory judgment. I am not a lawyer of any kind, but in my understanding a declaratory judgment has to stem from a case and Cruz has no standing to sue himself on a constitutional or any other matter.IMO.
Secondly, what kind of damage is political damage and how is it mitigated?
By fixing the election? [sarc]
This would belong in congress, IMO
They would punt on this, but they do have impeachment, and the ability to write law.
Oh Come-on!!!
I am not a lawyer, but Sen. Cruz is and not only that he is one of the smartest lawyers in the country. If there is one thing I know it is that smart lawyers have ways of accomplishing what they want to regardless of what you or I think is possible. He could publicly ask Donald Trump or one of the other contenders who most likely has standing to sue on this issue in Texas where he would get the most sympathetic jurists. Donald would most likely comply.
For all we know this may already have been done in private and this dog and pony show is just to keep the ratings up. What other reason would we have to keep watching? There is nothing people like to watch more than a good fight.
