Cruz didn’t run the argument out before he made it and got caught.
People need to learn how to do that, run every possible counter to one’s own argument out in one’s own mind before making and then blowing the argument.
According to Mark Levin, he didn’t blow an argument. AT ALL.
What she did was change the subject to something that had nothing at all to do with what Cruz asked. And when Durbin chimed in to help her, he was talking out his “you know what”.
According to Levin, the Bill of Rights was put there so the heavy hand of government power couldn’t take power away from the citizens. When she brought up child porn as an exception to the First Amendment’s free speech right, she changed the subject to something else, since the right of free speech meant POLITICAL SPEECH to those who put the BofR into the Constitution.
He repeated on his show last night, child porn has nothing to do with this. Nothing. NOTHING.
It isn’t Ted Cruz’s fault that she thought it DID. All she did was prove how ignorant she is.
Cruz pointed out later, when he had his time to do so, that she never did answer his question he put to her. And under that pressure, she finally answered and said “No” (It wouldn’t be consitutional for the Senate to list certain books that would be prohibited from First Amendment protection.)
The formula Cruz used was to exactly parallel her list of specific guns that won’t be allowed under the Second Amendment. By asking if the same exact thing would be ok if done to the First Amendment (ban certain books) or the Fourth Amendment (name people who COULD be searched without due process etc).
She became utterly “discumbobulated” and rambled all over the place. Not a word she said in her diatribe had ANYTHING to do with his point.
You can’t “game out” liberal’s rantings. They will always get into an emotional rant and throw everything up against the wall.
Mark Levin led his show with Cruz, and praised him to the utmost throughout the show. He said it’s now a new day. These “old bulls” in the Senate now know they will be challenged and will not be given a free pass anymore. Cruz will do it consistently and will not back down.
And I will add, she made herself look like a raving lunatic who shouldn’t be allowed to own a gun, herself. Much less be a Senator trying to ram this stuff down the throats of Americans.
