It’s a sad day on FR when Tribe is held out as an authority.
It’s a sad day when a candidate that wants to be seen as “Defender of the Constitution” won’t seek resolution to his own constitutional eligibility issue.
Yep... NY alues have become FR values.
Look at it another way Oklahoma...This is one view of what Natural Born Citizen means. Tribe is an acknowledged Constitutional Authority, whether you agree with him or not on his points is moot. Since Tribe believes there is a question of eligibility, or at least sees how there could be one in the originalist view, then most certainly the democrat party will sue using these arguments.
Look, I am a Trump supporter, but also like Sen Cruz. Personally, I do not think Cruz could carry the general successfully. In my view, I would like to have it determined that he is Natural Born, and not by a talk show host or internet warriors. While he is not (imho) electable this go around, once Trump cleans the cesspool and introduces a work ethic in the general population, then I believe Sen Cruz is primed to take the mantle.
Rubio has problems along this route also because while he is a citizen, is he considered Natural Born?
These questions should not be tossed out due to standing but decided once and for all. BTW I did consider the current occupant ineligible to hold office. I found it ridiculous that every court threw out all suits due to lack of standing. If citizens do not have standing as they are the employer of the President, then I do not know who does have standing.
