Re: The Curious Case of Ted Cruz and Jose Medellin
I think this shows that Cruz is an incredibly good lawyer, but this is also one of his biggest negatives in my opinion. He's a lawyer, lawyers don't make good presidents. I think his skills and knowledge would better be used as a Supreme Court justice.

If the whole sex scandal thing doesn't destroy Cruz I think Trump should seriously consider him as his nominee to fill the current vacancy. I think Cruz would make a fantastic justice.

 Quoting: Saddletramp


When Cruz took his case to the Supreme Court was he acting as a private citizen or was he employed by the State of Texas?

According to the article he was employed by the state of Texas to win cases and he did so...

What is the big deal? That does not say anything other than he is a competent attorney and I could give you a list of those while adding a bonus that they are not as sleazy as Ted Cruz...

What I am really interested in us why were establishment big money donors creating and donating to a Super PAC for Cruz back in November 2015? The one I am most interested in is “Stand for Truth” which is run by Mitch McConnell’s attorney, Eric Lycan? Some of the biggest donors in all of Washington DC were donating to the "outsider" Cruz? "Stand for Truth" Super PAC was formed while there were still establishment candidates in the race and BEFORE the first primary vote was cast, why?

It is insulting for anyone to suggest that Ted Cruz is NOT establishment and not an insider. It is insulting to suggest that Ted Cruz was so incensed by Jose Ernesto Medellin that he took a personal crusade all the way to the Supreme Court, when all Cruz did was the job the people of the great state of Texas paid him to do...

Did Jeb Bush endorse Ted Cruz and does Neil Bush work for the Cruz campaign? That suggests to me that Cruz caved like a cheap tent in a hurricane to the lure of establishment money, just like every other lousy politician.

BTW, do you really think that New York or New Jersey will forget that after hurricane Sandy, it was Senator Ted Cruz who stood in the way of those states getting federal aid?

:3-27 Cruz:
 Quoting: davvi


He was Solicitor General from the State of Texas, but he was under intense pressure from the George W. to essentially throw the case...for the sake of international relations of course. Those two girls families be damned...

Cruz whipped George W. and the U.S. Solicitor General's ass. And everyone that filed a brief supporting Bush in the case. It was a huge loss for Bush. This is why you will never see George W. endorse Cruz.

You can try to discount it if you like Davvi, but you just prove yourself to be what I know you are, a Trumptard who refuses to look at anyone or anything else...

Keep those blinders screwed down tight so nothing else gets in Davvi...

As it stands now Ted Cruz opposes TPP...

He's been very clear in all public speeches since the details of the bill came out...

[link to www.breitbart.com]

And yes Ted is a Natural Born Citizen, being an American Citizen from birth by virtue of having an American mother. Most legal scholars, and all 50 election boards have found him to be eligible, no legal jurisdiction has found otherwise. Even Trump said Cruz was Eligible...until he got close in the polls...

Re: The Curious Case of Ted Cruz and Jose Medellin
But is he a natural born American or a natural born Canadian? One cannot be both!
 Quoting: John Donson 70966696


He's a Natural Born Citizen of the USA by virtue of his American Citizen Mother, and the fact that his father was not yet a Canadian citizen at the time of his birth. He held dual citizenship with Canada, but never had any of the rights or immunities of Canadian Citizenship, never held a Canadian Passport, and never paid taxes in Canada. In fact he didn't have to maintain any kind of paperwork to have this dual citizenship, which is likely why he never paid any attention to it.

He moved to Carroll Texas when he was four years old, went to school there, went to college in the USA, and during his entire formative life has not only been a citizen, but a resident of the USA as well.

Most legal scholars, and all 50 state election boards have found him to be eligible. Even Donald Trump said he was eligible...until Cruz got close in the polls.

I'll tell you this about Ted Cruz (for anyone who's interested, and I know a lot of you aren't), the guy is a Constitutional Genius. He knows it backwards and forwards, and he's voted in that vein for the four years he's been in the Senate.

If he doesn't get to run for President I hope someone will consider him for a SCOTUS seat at some point...

 Quoting: Ice


Is that really a good idea i mean its already too late for Cruz he wont get the 1237 and at a convention he has absolutely NO chance of getting the nomination. A encouraged vote for Cruz is an encouraged WASTED vote. This splitting of the votes has been the plan all along by TPTB to get Hillary her promised turn at the WH. Where do you think Obama and Hillary ran off to after they ditched the media on that flight shortly after he was put into place? What do you think the topic of discussion was?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71863395


Well this is a pro-Cruz thread, but if you would like I will tell you my main opposition to Donald Trump.

Trump has held just about every position on every issue at one time or another.

He donated to Hillary Clinton's campaign multiple times, and even worse he donated to the Clinton Foundation numerous times for unspecified amount of money. The same Clinton Foundation just implicated in the Panama Papers. Donald has been an active participant in the money for favor corruption of Washington for decades...

Donald Trump tries to sell himself as a very successful businessman, yet his business' have taken bankruptcy four times. Donald has been fairly successful in recent years, particularly since inheriting approximately $200 million in assets from his father's estate in 1999. However over 75% of Donald's professed net worth in the highly subjective and illiquid value of his own name "Trump", which he values at $6 Billion Dollars.

At different times Donald has been for Universal Healthcare, the Assault Weapons Ban, and Partial Birth Abortion. For most of Donald's life his politics were representative of a Manhattan democrat, which precisely how I believe he will govern.

Donald Trump's campaign promises, though vague and without specifics, have gone from Politically Impossible, Impractical, Illegal, to downright Retarded of late. His wall idea has no political support, and most experts agree it will not meet it's goals any more than the Priority Fencing of '06 did. His deportation idea has been fluid and has changed a number of times over the years, there aren't enough specifics on the plan to really comment. His idea about arming the Saudi's with Nukes to protect themselves from Iran is ludicrous and dangerous, arming the most militant Islamic Government in the world, filled with Whabbists with Nuclear Weapons is insane. His idea of passively pulling out of NATO Commitments without propping up someone to fill that power void is dangerous, shortsighted, and would have the Chinese chomping at the bit to fill that power vacuum. His promise to pay off the $20 Trillion National Debt in eight years is both laughable, and impossible. Every economist queried about the proposal has said as much.

With so many changes to his positions over the years and so little specificity to his current extreme promises, I frankly believe Donald will govern as the Manhattan democrat he's been for most of his life.

I've heard Cruz speak, we were both in the Ron Paul Tea Party, and Texas Freedom Coalition, but I've never personally met Ted Cruz, or his wife, and I certainly don't get any kind of paycheck from them. I've been very open about my ideology in the five years I've been a paid member of GLP, that hasn't changed at all in that time either.

Ted Cruz just represents that Conservative Libertarian ideology better than Donald Trump does...

I think he would be great on the Supreme Court, by all of your accounts he's voted by The Constitution and that is something I can get behind.

As far as POTUS. Well, you know my position on that one but, great information.

Re: The Curious Case of Ted Cruz and Jose Medellin
I'm with you saddletramp. So Many people jumped on the Trump bandwagon in the initial primaries without really knowing what they were voting for. If only they would have done research on these candidates careers, things may be different in the delegate count now. Hopefully the republicans yet to vote are taking a hard look at their values, careers and what they stood for in the past.

Yeah wow grrrreat, another fuckin lawyer debate diva for President! whoopeeee!

He could be AG and stick with what he does best.

Fuck having another lawyer/senator/house member who do nothing and will not make a decision unless it's by committee process.

Just like Obama, "let's appoint a panel and send it to a committee while we monitor the situation".

We need a decision maker as chief executive, not more paralysis by analysis Politian lawyer debate everything to death for the sake of debate fucktards.

This is out of Cruz's league.

Re: The Curious Case of Ted Cruz and Jose Medellin
But is he a natural born American or a natural born Canadian? One cannot be both!
 Quoting: John Donson 70966696


He's a Natural Born Citizen of the USA by virtue of his American Citizen Mother, and the fact that his father was not yet a Canadian citizen at the time of his birth. He held dual citizenship with Canada, but never had any of the rights or immunities of Canadian Citizenship, never held a Canadian Passport, and never paid taxes in Canada. In fact he didn't have to maintain any kind of paperwork to have this dual citizenship, which is likely why he never paid any attention to it.

He moved to Carroll Texas when he was four years old, went to school there, went to college in the USA, and during his entire formative life has not only been a citizen, but a resident of the USA as well.

Most legal scholars, and all 50 state election boards have found him to be eligible. Even Donald Trump said he was eligible...until Cruz got close in the polls.

Got it! Yukon Ted was NOT naturally born in Canada!
