Evangelical leader Tony Perkins endorses Cruz

..."Leadership is not all about making deals. Leadership is about standing on principle, about respecting the Constitution. No one understands the Constitution like Ted Cruz," he said."

Yeah right. Ted didn’t understand the 14th Amendment, nor does he not understand that he isn’t a natural born citizen. Give it up - Cruz is a fraud. There -I said it.

“No one understands the Constitution like Ted Cruz”

That particular statement, which I have seen over and over, is laughable and is also complete BS — boilerplate rolled out for a campaign. Cruz, it implies, has access to a wisdom that the rest of us are not even aware of.

The authors of the Constitution wrote at length about the Constitution being written in order for it to be understood.

The Constitution does NOT require some appointed “expert” to tell us what it means. It is NOT written in legalese. It is written in straight-forward, simple English.

Lawyers detest anything written in such a fashion, and they will toil in trying to make it appear that it is a mystery only they can unlock.
