Ted Cruz was the very model of competence and yet he too was defeated by the incompetent Trump.
Cruz was even more dangerous than Trump; both are hateful bigots, but Trump’s incompetence manifests as a consequence of his ignorance; Cruz had outright contempt for the Constitution, its case law, and the rule of law – a Cruz ‘presidency’ would have placed in jeopardy the rights and protected liberties of millions of Americans.
Hi
C_Clayton_Jones
1. I agree with you that Trump is no Constitutionalist
and even threw Cruz under the bus who is one
2. Your asserting that either is hate based is off. Trump is not hateful but spoiled and whiny.
He has been described by those subjected to his rants as a "BLOWHARD" but
by those who have worked for him as a good man to work for, including "minorities" Blacks and others
who have said that.
Cruz is not hateful but may be FEARFUL OF LIBERALS LIKE YOU
who put "letter of the law case precedent" ABOVE the spirit and principle of the Constitution.
For example, CCJ when slavery and when DOMA were "passed into law and enforced by Courts"
these were STILL in violation of the spirit and principles of laws -- THEY VIOLATED OTHER LAWS
So these were FURTHER CHALLENGED and later defeated
You act like this only counts when it's YOUR side that challenges an unconstitutional law
By the same token people of OTHER BELIEFS can challenge laws by the same arguments
of discrimination. You seem to forget this and call it hateful?
Was it hateful and "disregard for the law" when MLK got arrested for protesting segregation?
Was it hateful and lawless for Harriet Tubman and others to defy authorities to steal slaves away
who were considered property of their owners UNDER LAW and under court authority?
It's sadly ironic you don't see how YOU come across
as fearful/hateful and disrespecting Constitutional laws and principles.
You accuse others, and have no clue how you look to them!
3. I'd make a bet with you that Cruz is more a defender of Constitutional principles
than you are. And that his motivation is not hate but love of America and what this country stands for.
You are so blinded by your own fear, you project that onto others
and imagine that Constitutionalists are the opposite.
But since you will not respond, but will continue on this blind rampage,
the one thing I can offer to my fellow Democrats, Constitutionalists and Americans
is to bring on a lawsuit to settle this once and for all.
Since no other Democrats "agreed to be sued" for violations of the Constitution
and "conspiracy to violate the equal rights of others" then I will consult with
2 of the elected Democrats in my district, Darrell Patterson and Sheila Jackson Lee,
and offer to set up a lawsuit where we agreed to be sued. If we can force this
issue into courts, then maybe liberals like you who only count court rulings
as law will respect what comes out of the courtroom process.
I will call for Civil Obedience instead of civil disobedience,
and agree to be the bad guys sued in order to force the Democrats to make corrections.
We'll set it up in advance as a civil (or criminal action if it's conspiracy which is a felony)
And ask lawyers on both sides to step forward and help mediate, lay out terms for
setting the charges, and even create our own Constitutional Grand Jury system
if needed to HEAR these charges and complaints.
Let's try that, CCJ, since you don't seem to think anyone
but yourself has the right to say what BELIEFS are Constitutionally protected and legal to defend.
You only see it from YOUR side, but when anyone else
defends their right to their beliefs under the same Constitution
they are not equal to you but 'hateful'
You are both FEARFUL if you ask me.
I'm ready to bring on corrections, even if it means setting up a public Grand Jury hearing or trial
to state the charges. Let's sue the Democrats and see who accepts responsibility for which violations:
1. voting for and pushing ACA mandates that violate Constitutional principles, process and beliefs
2. pushing beliefs in same sex marriage through govt instead of govt remaining neutral toward creeds for or against
3. pushing beliefs in public schools about homosexual orientation and transgender identity that are unproven by science and thus remain faith based
The rules are: the Democrats named in the grievance process must AGREE to be sued for the process of RESOLVING the grievance not denying the violations; and the parties involved must agree to spell out corrections that all sides agree to as Constitutional in order to enforce civil obedience to laws in ways that are mutually agreed upon, and most cost-effective and sustainable, and which include and do not discriminate against any person of any creed, including religious political or secular personal beliefs.
I will agree to be sued for corrections decided by consensus to the Freedmen's Town violations that went on under the watch of Democrat officials. And I will ask SJL and DP to join me in accepting responsibility so that we can be taken seriously by liberals like CCJ who only look at "court rulings as law."
