Cruz should have taken the Donald’s advice and preemptively filed for a declaratory judgement.
This will drag on, hurting Cruz. And Cruz’s lawyers will want to take the same approach as Rubio’s. Try to get it dismissed for lack of standing, or on a technicality, or because suits against Obama were thrown out, or because prior presidents that may have been inelligible have served.
And none of it is going to cast Cruz as defender of the constitution.
Good grief. You and DT need to read up on how the courts work.
This is a joke. Law is settled. Only way lefties and DT supporters put stock in it.
He still can. Expect it after IOWA maybe before SC
Lack of standing is thin defense.
The difference is that Cruz is an attorney and Donald isn't - and Cruz knows that you have to have an actual case or controversy to get into court. There have to be two opposing sides making an argument, and one side has to show a real harm. Federal courts don't take cases just to make advisory opinions.
Or maybe Donald's high-powered attorneys (you know, the same ones that told him Cruz was eligible) already told him that, and he just keeps saying something he knows isn't true to keep the issue alive. If Donald really wanted to settle this HE could try to sue Cruz over this - then there would be a controversy with two sides that the court might take. But I don't think he wants this settled.
