I say “toward” because no man can entirely reverse in four or eight years what took our nation a hundred years to achieve.
Obama has gathered arbitrary, despotic powers into the executive branch. IOW, the precedent of tyranny has been established.
Of course, no one expects anything but exemplary behavior from a Cruz administration. The problem is that like it or not, our government runs on precedent far more than the rule of the supreme law of the land, our constitution.
Ultimately, unless our governing institutions are reformed simultaneously with a Cruz presidency, subsequent presidents will have Obama’s despotic powers. Whatever Cruz does will be a flash in the pan, a nostalgic few years for conservatives, much like those of Ronaldus Magnus.
My hope is for Cruz to blow the doors off standard presidential campaigns, and announce his support for an Article V state convention to return to a senate of the states and restore vertical separation of powers.
Great post. I can see where the strength of the president under this monster has grown into a behemoth. If we get Cruz, that would be great but then another monster could win in eight years. You are right. Lets put the power back where it belongs!!
