They are working to uphold the Constitution which is the Law of the Land.

It is astonishing and dismaying to witness the gloating and high fiving by many on this forum at the near complete and utter disregard for a key constitutional provision that was intended to protect the office of President from foreign influenced disloyalty and treason. The Congress and much of this nation, by ignoring the strictures of Article II, Section 1 clause 5, have undoubtedly given us the demagogic, tyrannical, treasonous and marxist usurper Obama. We are risking repeating his like again in the future, with possibly worse results.

I believe that the harm that a creature like Obama can do to the constitutional republic is infinitely greater than the good that an otherwise patriot like Cruz can do FOR it. It is time to enforce the rule of constitutional law, rather than the cult of personality.

This matter has already been decided in 1971 by SCOTUS in the Rogers vs Bellei case. Bellei was stripped of his US citizenship by failure to comply with the statutory requirements of his naturalization. Bellei’s birth circumstances were identical to Cruz’s. No natural born citizen could be deprived of his citizenship in such a manner.

If Cruz’s mother did not file a Counsular Report of Birth Abroad for her son, and none is on file, than he is not even a US citizen. The opposition is sure to begin digging into this matter.

His dissembling on this matter is extremely disturbing. He isn’t by any stretch of the imagination an Article II eligible POTUS.

Since you are a constitutional expert why don’t you jump right out there and file a federal lawsuit?

Seems a significant percentage of the cult didn’t bother to or care to vote DONEald in Iowa. That cliff edge must have scared them.

You can gloat for one more day and a wake-up.

A mother gives birth, and that is not natural, in other news, Bruice Jenner is a woman, and planned parenthood is about planning parenthood.

So much evil these days. When political correctness requires we live lies, even obvious truth fades.

Courts are free to accept or reject cases on various bases, standing being one of them.

Cruz is free to defer asking for dismissal on standing and other procedural grounds. If he wanted the court to provide an answer to the issue, he would so defer.

It's in Trumps interest to stir the pot. He's grateful for this cloud over Cruz's head.

Only Trump and the cult seem to think it matters.

One cult or the other - many who poo-poo it when it's Cruz in the sights also pushed it hard when Obama was the target.

Looks like we have some who think "The War of the Cults" is more important than the actual objective of not having Obama Lite following Obama The Destroyer into the WH.My cult's better than your cult, nyah-nyah" - have we really become this pathetic?

Well said!
‘After Obama, this should matter to everyone! ....’ -

not only the Repub not lifting a finger to help, but also the democRATS seeking blood in removing Rubio or Cruz!

Think hard before you ignore the real risk of a Cruz or Rubio nominee!

Voting Cruz or Rubio is a guarantee of a democRATS win!

Exactly! the dem SOS WILL remove Cruz or Rubio’s name on their state ballots! Unlike the timid Repub SOS(s) who hide their heads in the sand, they stick together.

The Soros SOS(s) all over the country are real threat!

Calling people “birthers” and trying to shame them in to silence, just because they insist that according to the Constitution our President should be a natural born citizen, is a vile tactic.

Whould we tolerate supporters of the 2nd amendment being called “gun nuts” on FR and attempt to shame them into silence? It’s the same thing.

Think about that the next time someone calls someone else a “birther”. Gee what a conservative tactic. Libs invented the term.
