I love your work and I dislike Ted Cruz so I hate to say it, but I think he's right on this one.

Hmm. Would you agree that as a USA Senator, Cruz has a constitutional duty to check over-weening presidential power?

Sure! But he does not have a duty to over-check proper (or permissible) weening. Not so easy as "broad vs narrow" if some exercises are okay while others are not.

Trump's claim that a president can pardon himself certainly counts as an extraordinary assertion of power (even Nixon flinched from that). Shouldn't Cruz be expected to say something about that? Instead he says he'll avoid topic.

If anything, fact that Cruz wrote an article shows the issue is not appropriate for quick gut-level reaction!

But Cruz isn't just saying he's not going to give gut-level reaction. His position is that he is not going to even study the issue at all (despite Trump taking a stand on it)https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1003848763109265408 …

I was actually fairly sympathetic to his defense up until he said this. This tweet might well be the most pure distillation of Ted Cruz I’ve ever seen.https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1003848763109265408 …

Exactly. It's an amazing thing for a President to say "I can pardon myself" and for a Senator to respond "I won't study that issue."

Replying to @HeerJeet @AaronSundance
Agreed! That's a good attack. But that's not how I read your piece. I read it to say he could answer the question simply by relying on the reasoning in his prior article. I don't think that's right. Again, not saying he's not a hack. But your substantive claim is off, I think.
