Interesting juxtaposition. Shows where their priorities lie regarding morality-cred.
Okay, so I ran across this interview with the actress, Amy Lindsay. What’s amusing is that she states that she is a conservative christian Republican. Then she states :
Wait, she does realize that she’s talking about the Cruz campaign here, right?
I am perpetually astonished at the level of stupid that exists in this country.
Yeah, it’s pretty ridic. Cruz is a little more libertarian than most of those running now, but he’s also a smarmy evangelical.
And the exorcist ended up possessed.
Ted’s wife, Heidi, says her hubby is gonna show us all “the face of god”:
I kinda feel bad for Ted Cruz now with Scalia’s passing.
It’s his god sworn duty to block everything in the senate so now he has to balance being out campaigning with being able to be in Washington when a vote comes up. No one in the Senate like him so he’s kinda screwed, no one will delay proceedings for him to make it back.
[QUOTE=Ted Cruz]
Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.
[/QUOTE]
He has a lot of flight time in his future.
So Ted really thinks Hillary will pick a better replacement than Obama will? How quaint. 
When you scare even Stephen King, you know you’ve got something going for you: Presidential candidate that puts the fear in horror writer Stephen King
Somebody bought tedcruzforamerica.com and redirected it to the Canadian immigration service.
People are trying too hard now.
I love the idea that anyone can prank the whole damn process for the price of a decent restaurant meal. And the whole world gets to know & laugh along.
The opportunities for devilment just boggle. Shame I’m so uncreative.
As long as we don’t get hackers vandalizing official sites. That moves beyond fun into malicious obstruction of something actually pretty important.
I’m far from a Cruz fan, but have no doubt that he is eligible for election to the Presidency. But the Illinois lawsuit challenging that is going forward: Lawsuit over Ted Cruz's eligibility to run for president heads to court
I’ve heard some Harvard law professor on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show say he looked into it and started with the supposition that the whole thing was silly and would be easy to prove that Cruz was eligible. The more he dug into it, the more he came around to the other way of thinking and now thinks that he may well not be eligible. Better to have the suit wind its way through the system now than discover that we’ve elected someone ineligible.
As much as I despise the man, I agree he’s eligible.
This article does point out that Cruz wouldn’t be eligible under the original wording of the Constitution.
That’s a rich bit of irony, but as we’ve discussed in the Scalia threads, being an Originalist also includes accepting constitutional amendments and congressional acts as original text original to their authors’ intents at the time of their passing.
e.g. the 14th Amendment means today exactly what it’s backers meant when they passed it then.
Indiana has a challenge being considered by their Election Commission today to both Cruz and Rubio. The Rubio case is about his parents not being citizens when he was born in Florida. :smack:
For those that enjoy occasionally gawking at crazy check out one of the filers in the complaint against Cruz - Bob Kern. He’s a Democrat, a perpetual candidate for Congress (who won a nomination once…to the party’s displeasure), a convicted felon, and he’s a Trump supporter. So much juicy wrongness … 
Interesting article from 538. The upshot is that the type of states that Cruz has an advantage in (high amounts of Evangelicals) are disproportionately not winner-take-all states. The article posits that this will be a problem for Cruz: it means his opponents for the Republican nomination have better opportunities to pick up piles of delegates in the winner-take-all states, and then as long as they have respectable showings in the Evangelical-heavy states, Cruz won’t be able to make up that big deficit.
A couple of Cruz news items today.
Ted says the Duck Dynasty guy would be a great ambassador to the UN.
He (or his team) just loves dirty tricks, doesn’t he/it/them?
