Ted Cruz Spars With Pete Buttigieg Over Meaning of Constitutional Originalism

Republican Senator Ted Cruz debated constitutional originalism with Pete Buttigieg on Twitter Tuesday morning, after unveiling a proposed amendment to prohibit Democrats from adding seats to the U.S. Supreme Court following next month's election. An "originalist" is someone who believes interpretations of constitutional text should rely on the authors' original intentions when statutes were first drafted.

"The Left keeps repeating this idiotic arg: 'Ha! Ha! If you're an originalist, you can't amend the Constitution.' No, Art VII of the Constitution lays out the process of amendments (e.g., Bill of Rights). Following that process is HOW you do it—not judges just rewriting the text," Cruz wrote on Tuesday, responding to an earlier tweet from Buttigieg, a former Democratic presidential candidate and the previous mayor of South Bend, Indiana, posted on Monday night.............

Buttigieg is way out of his league. I almost admire for him trying...but it would be like me fighting the Incredible Hulk.

Correct!.
The Buttboy is boxing out of his weight class on this one.

I wonder what he is running for.  Two news pieces on him on consecutive days.   Yesterday he claimed his marriage made in faggotry would be in jeopardy if ACB was confirmed an now a punch drunk swipe at Cruz?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
