(Thus sparing the children of US diplomats, among others). Granted, that act has been superseded, but, to conservatives, it should be a big clue about what the people who wrote the Constitution intended.

Regardless, I’ve become a big fan of Ted Cruz. To paraphrase what Lincoln said of Grant, “We can’t spare him! He fights!”

Why would she want to do that? It would violate a long-standing liberal principle: Don’t confuse me with facts!
