Birther Karma

The constitutional question about whether Ted Cruz is a “natural-born” citizen is as good a reason as any to deny him the White House. If we want a President from Canada, let’s get Justin Trudeau.

The issue is sweet confirmation of the Universal Law of Payback.

How many Cruz supporters were “birthers” who questioned President Obama’s legitimacy? Surprise! Obama was born in the USA, not Kenya. Cruz was born in Canada, not the USA.

Now these strict constructionists want a more, shall we say, liberal interpretation of the Constitution.

What became of strict fealty to the Founding Framers’ “original intent”? Their original intent was to deny the Presidency to someone born in a country loyal to the King. Like Canada, hoser.

Enter the Supreme Birther, Donald Trump. Never one to pass up an opportunity for demagoguery, he fans nativist fears, threatens lawsuits and warns of a constitutional sword of Damocles hanging over Cruz.

One hopes President Obama is enjoying this. Truly, revenge is a dish best served cold.
