When it comes to Ted Cruz, they pull no punches...
David Brooks, columnist for The New York Times, was interviewed recently on PBS and referred to Ted Cruz as "the Senator from Canada through Texas." (h/t Instapundit) I guess Brooks meant that as a shot, but it's an odd shot for Brooks to make. Brooks also was born in...
I believe Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal and Ted Cruz to be "natural born Citizens" and eligible to be President. Here's why. 1. Summary There are few eligibility requirements to be President. You don't have to be smart, wise, experienced, honest, educated, or a particular gender or race. Article II, Section...
The crazying of Ted Cruz continues unabated...
The analysis of the Natural Born Citizen clause in the Constitution as it applies to Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. I promised to do this long ago, and did the research with the assistance of a former student, but couldn't bring myself to actually write it...
for President in 2016. He's our best, and maybe only, hope. At a minimum he will generate numerous quotables regarding his likely opponent, Hillary. If by some miracle he's the nominee, it will be a big f-ing deal when it comes to our chances of winning the White...
Every semester for the past couple of years I've been privileged to be a guest speaker at the Ithaca College course on Independent Media conducted by Prof. Jeff Cohen. I get to regale students with stories about Legal Insurrection, some of which are true. (FTR, all of...
Republicans struck a deal to avoid Harry Reid going nuclear on the filibuster of Obama nominees. So the filibuster remains in place for one of two things to happen: (1) Democrats retain control of the Senate in 2014, and Republicans continue to confirm Obama nominees and legislative...
I've flagged the pathway to citizenship (even more so than other forms of legalization) as the critical issue in the immigration debate. Granting citizenship to adults who came here illegally is horrible policy which historically has proven a huge carrot to increased illegal immigration regardless of...
I had read headlines about this speech by Ted Cruz, but watching it finally was even better. As background, Sean Sullivan at WaPo's The Fix points out our house is divided, Ted Cruz vs. John McCain: Welcome to the new normal in the Senate: Sen. Ted Cruz...
The NY Times is concern trolling: Cruz Breaks With Senate Tradition While Criticizing Colleagues (emphasis added): In his short time at the Capitol, Senator Ted Cruz, a freshman Republican from Texas, has shown little regard for long-standing rules of decorum. But on Friday, he publicly discussed the closed-door...
The mainstream media, egged on by Democrats, is trying to pin the "McCarthy" label on Ted Cruz. It doesn't matter whether there is a basis, all that matters is that there's a name connection made. It's a meme started by the usual cabal of Democratic politicians and supportive...
Ted Cruz is making all the right enemies, and they are out for him often and early. For Marco Rubio the meme is WATER, for Cruz it's NASTY. The title of this NY Times article originally was Ted Cruz Runs Counter To The Senate's Courtly Ways, but...
Look at how dreamy Morning Joe treats Elizabeth Warren's "grilling" of bank regulators (it hardly was a grilling, just a single inane gotcha question she repeated over and over for dramatic effect): Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Now contrast that...
Chuck Hagel was an embarrassment yesterday at this confirmation hearing. John Podhoretz has it right: Well, as a result of this confirmation hearing — the most disastrous of its kind since another veteran senator, John Tower, blew himself up in his pursuit of the same post...
Dated January 11, 2013 (h/t gs in the Tip Line): Dear SarahPAC Supporter, Together, we made history this November! Our victory in the U.S. Senate race in Texas was a remarkable testament to the conservative grassroots. We started out as underdogs in a long, competitive primary. But despite the...
Ted Cruz was the insurgent Tea Party - supported candidate running against the more establishment David Dewhurst. If we followed the establishment advice to keep the seat safe, we would not have this rising star in office. The same is true for Marco Rubio and...
Here is Ted Cruz's victory speech last night in its entirety. ...
