Don't forget that Trump is a Birther, too. At least as far as Cruz is concerned.
And Cruz and Rubio (and I presume other right wing/Tea Party types) have raised the spectre of a Scalia conspiracy.
It's amusing that its easy for these politicians to see conspiracies in every nook and corner while running for office (I'm guessing to bring out voters), or when they are pressed by scandal (ahem - Hilary); yet, conveniently forget the existence of these conspiracies when it comes time to disclose the documents to the public that might prove or disprove their existence.
Is it good that public discussion of these "conspiracies" continues? Will it make more likely government release of still sealed JFK records, 9/11 records, etc.? Or is the ultimate effect of this discourse simply going to be the humiliation of those politicians unwise enough to invoke them?
