“Competition for the top spot is fierce, but the very worst of Donald Trump’s enablers and sycophants aren’t the rage-addled, rustic, resentment junkies but such polished epitomes of servility as Sen. Ted Cruz, who insists that his highest political calling is the defense and fortification of the Constitution, and who — being one of those anti-elitist sons of the Texas caliche who learned his ABCs at Princeton and Harvard Law — knows full well that the president’s contempt for the Constitution is exceeded only by his ignorance of it. … as Cruz no doubt heard many times at Harvard Law, insisting that the states act as its ‘agents’ is one of the things the federal government is prohibited from doing. Federal law may supersede state law in cases of conflict, but the federal government cannot command the states to enforce federal law, or to do — anything, really.” (08/22/25)
