I did say it was my opinion. And in earlier posts I said I’m no lawyer.
You’re right. It shouldn’t be about public opinion, but as I said earlier, the Court, IN MY OPINION, will probably trash any suit to disqualify Ted Cruz because he is a member of a “protected class.” It’s NOT the way it should be, but there are a lot of things in this world that shouldn’t be.
Right now I would be happy to see this settled in Tex Cruz’s favor regardless of the motivation. The Democrats have benefited from courts ruling on feelings rather than law. I’m not sure I would mind if those same shenanigans worked in our favor for once.
I am not usually so curmudgeonly, but I am having a very hard time with this whole issue. The SCOTUS pulled a fast one on us by sitting this out. Scalia, Thomas, and Alito have been unable to get a fourth to agree to hear these eligibility appeals.
It is, IMNVHO, not a good thing for my country not to be able to tell exactly who or what is a citizen and what kind. For example, I like Cruz. But it is not HIS job to tell me he is a Natural Born Citizen.
