How cowardice ended the American republic.....

I ask Ted Cruz if he agrees with Trump that the president can pardon himself. Cruz is silent for eighteen (18!) seconds before telling reporters it’s not a constitutional area he’s studied.

“18 Seconds of Silence” would be a great title for a future Chinese documentary on how cowardice ended the American republic.

Pres. Obama, John Roberts and Elena Kagan. Yet he can't answer this question, hmm.

(CNN) — Calling him a "fair weather originalist" and accusing him of "constitutional hypocrisy," Ted Cruz's former law school professor is arguing that the Texas senator's own legal philosophy disqualifies him from serving as president.

Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard whose students include President Barack Obama and Supreme Court justices John Roberts and Elena Kagan, hammered Cruz over questions about his presidential eligibility because of his birth in Canada, which have been raised by Donald Trump and caused headaches for the Calgary-born Texas senator in the Republican primary.https://www.cnn.com/2016/01/12/politics/laurence-tribe-ted-cruz-birther-argument/index.html
