A little surprise re: Ted Cruz
I read a lot about a lot of different subjects. A few days ago, after weeks and weeks of reading all the stuff online about the Second Amendment, I decided to look a little bit into constitutional law. So yesterday I stopped by my local library to see what they had, and one of the books I found was U.S. Constitution for Dummies. It was written by a Dr. Michael Arnheim, a barrister from St. John's College, Cambridge, and published in 2009.
Now get this. The foreword was written by none other than Ted Cruz, who was a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bocklus and had been Solicitor General of Texas. I am quoting from his Foreword:
"We the people" are the opening words of the U.S. Constitution, and it is fitting that this book is written for "We the people."
...
"Indeed, that was the genius of the Constitution -- limiting government to protect the liberty of the people. Because the Framers recognized that unchecked government can strip the people of their freedoms, they designed a constitution to prevent that from happening."
I could go on, but you get the idea. Is this Foreword ironic or what?
