I’m a Cruz fan. But, I have a problem with him supporting John Roberts as fervently as he did and then saying nothing (that I’ve heard) about him stepping outside of the law to write that horrendous decision about Obamacare being a tax when they argued it wasn’t a tax.
If you watched the debates, he addressed that. He voted on and supported Roberts on his “known” paper trail. That’s why he prefers all future candidates have a long paper trail.
Maybe not the answer your looking for but that how he explained it. Long paper trails didn’t work out to well for Bork though.
It isn’t enough for him to say “there wasn’t a long enough paper trail”. Well then why did you support the guy?
If he could rewrite Obamacare in order to then rule it “constitutional”, then there should have been red flags about him years ago. Hell even Ann Coulter raised the loudest alarm about him when Bush put his name forward.
