You can cling to that fallacy if it helps you. But it's a lie.
KELLY: Did you know what Ted Cruz’s politics were at the time?
DERSHOWITZ: His politics were clear, principled, unwavering, and very intelligently presented.
KELLY: You said he was one of the smartest students you ever had. Is that true or is that hyperbole?
DERSHOWITZ: No, it’s true, and in fact I got a lot of criticism from my friends on the left saying, “Why are you saying that?” I’m a professor. I have to tell the truth about my students even if I disagree with their views. Even if I’m not gonna vote for him, I’m not gonna change history.
Alan Dershowitz Confirms Cruz Was One of His Smartest Students (with video)
I’m glad you quoted someone totally irrelevant to this conversation.
“Squirrel!!!”
Good job trying to sidetrack the conversation. Didn’t work.
If he were so principled and unwavering why did he support TPP/corker as he did?
Why did he originally support the expansion of H1 visas as he did.
Why did he go to the border with Beck and teddy bears the way he did?
Why did he waffle so much about waterboarding the way he did?
Why did he say he would never find the Clinton sex scandals were untouchable the way he did?
Why does he lie so much about Trump’s actual positions the way he does?
Why has he brought on the Bush and Romney teams to plot strategy and raise money for him?
Why has he become the GOPE darling in the effort to prevent Trump from winning? Why has he allowed himself to be used by the very same people and groups he has told us he is running against?
Hint: that ain’t principled in the slightest.
This is the same Alan Dershowitz that says according to Cruz’s Originalist interpretation of the constitution, Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen?
The kind of judge Cruz says he admires and would appoint to the Supreme Court is an “originalist,” one who claims to be bound by the narrowly historical meaning of the Constitution’s terms at the time of their adoption. To his kind of judge, Cruz ironically wouldn’t be eligible, because the legal principles that prevailed in the 1780s and ’90s required that someone actually be born on US soil to be a “natural born” citizen. Even having two US parents wouldn’t suffice. And having just an American mother, as Cruz did, would have been insufficient at a time that made patrilineal descent decisive.
Oh, and you might deal with the main points of my original post now.
I doubt you will, but I’ll wait and see.
