ping to the vile Alan Grayson gleefully attacking Ted Cruz’s eligibility.

Note that, previously, IIRC, WND’s Farrah said he would not contest Cruz’s eligibility based on the precedent set by the certification of Barry’s election and by the forthrightness of Cruz regarding his birth circumstances (in contrast to ongoing deceptive behavior of Barry).

Here is the summary of why Farrah believes that unlike Cruz (whose birth facts and circumstances are clear) there are still multiple issues regarding Barry:

“Why Obama’s eligibility is still important”

“Exclusive: Joseph Farah counters claims he’s a ‘hypocrite’ when it comes to Ted Cruz”

So what was my beef?

One problem has always been, and remains today, that we don’t know where he was born because he has never released an unchallenged birth certificate.

A second problem remains that even if the birth certificate is accurate and authentic, it still leaves open the question of his “natural born citizen” status because it states his father was a Kenyan citizen, unable to confer “natural born citizen” status on his son.

A third problem is that his listed mother was unable to confer that status on her son because she was a minor – too young. She hadn’t lived as a citizen in the country long enough. She later left for Indonesia and took her son with her to Indonesia where he was adopted by an Indonesian citizen.

So the question remains, even without an uncontested birth certificate, how did Obama become a “natural born citizen”?

This is puzzling to me. Cruz never even hinted a presidential run and the media was out there claiming he was eligible.

Ted Cruz Releases Birth Certificate, Is Eligible to Run for President, Canadian Parliament

Now CNN Weighs In: Is Ted Cruz Eligible to be President?

Texas Republican Sen. Cruz eligible to be president should he decide to run

Is Ted Cruz, born in Canada, eligible to run for president?

Just to list a few. They all say e is eligible. Why? Because if he is delcared eligible then it make Zippo eligible.

Great though my admiration for Senator Cruz is great, and I ain't kidding, the question of his eligibility makes me kind of itch a little.

So, I remain at my lonely outpost waiting for the black-robèd Scalia, Alito, et al to bestir their haunches and get a ruling on this Article 2 issue properly handled. They need to get two more of their bretheren to vote "Aye" on accepting one of the cases. It not as if worthy appeals have not reached the bowtied bumkissers of the SCOTUS. After all, they seem to have time for such nonsense as Gay Marriage and Obamanationcare. What are they waiting for? The Mombasa MF to appoint Maduro and Raúl Castro to the Court for Hatch, McConnell, and Susie Collins to consent?

WND wants to claim the Soetoro Presidency as a precedent? Isn't that just altogether charming? While I certainly care what they think, until Joseph Farah and the redoutable Dr. Corsi start cashing SCOTUS paychecks, their august opinions are just that: opinions, and INMNVHO, thus ipso facto no better than mine ... or yours ... or Ted Cruz'.
