Hey, Ted Cruz linked to my article! (Appreciate the congrats!)https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1003848754703818752 …
I think if Cruz takes a narrow view of prospective pardon issue, he should certainly take a much narrower view of president's pardoning themselves & cronies (which is much more obviously corrupt).

I am not going to argue that Cruz is not a partisan hack. But at this level of generality the legal arguments need not have the same outcome. See, e.g., executive immigration power in DACA vs the travel ban. Or federalism with sanctuary cities. Specifics matter.

But Cruz's position is not that legal arguments come to different conclusions. It's that Obama deserved to be checked (with a 50 page law article) but that Trump's assertion of broad power should be ignored. That seems, at the least, contradictory.
