Constitutional lawyer Floyd Abrams says Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is on the right side in the argument over whether he can run for president.
"I think Senator Cruz is right that 'natural-born' as understood would more likely than not be held to mean someone that didn't need to be naturalized, didn't have to go through any procedure to be an American, as of course he did not because he had an American mother," Abrams told host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on New York's AM-970 on Sunday.
Despite his belief that Cruz is a natural-born citizen, Abrams said the Supreme Court likely would not hand down a decision if petitioned in the case.
"I'll tell you what I think they would say: I think they would say we're not going to rule," he said. "I think they would say, we're going to treat this as what we call a political question. Congress can decide, the public can decide, but we're not going to pass on the issue of whether these words are of such magnitude as to disqualify someone for the presidency.
"I think that's where it would be left. I think it will ultimately be, even if Senator Cruz were to be elected president, one that the courts would just stay away from," he added.
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has attacked the Texas senator for his Canadian birth, saying Democrats will sue him and discredit his candidacy in a general election.
Article II, Section I of the Constitution states: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Cruz, who is also a constitutional lawyer, has maintained that he is eligible to serve as president.
I’ll check it out.
If Floyd “The Barber” Abrams is right that is good news for Cruz. Ted should be able to get a declaratory judgment quickly and easily. Trump was right to be concerned and helped Ted out big time on this issue. Working as a team!
Choose a passage that has been inconsistent for you, and apply the principles she teaches. You’ll have the passsage nailed in two weeks.

Hey, Rye-boy -
Statutes cannot and do not serve to
interpret the Constitution, genius.
Wrong again. Too bad.
1. Do your homework.
2. Spout off.
There you go.

Of course not, moron; and I never said or implied that it did so. I said the Constitution granted the Congress the enumerated power To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization. The Congress then did so with the various naturalization acts, including the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 which authorized Ted Cruz to be naturalized at birth as a U.S. citizen. Because Ted Cruz was naturalized at birth by the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, he is not a natural born citizen and not eligible to be the POTUS anymore than any other naturalized U.S. citizen such as Arnold Schwarzenegger. See:
Constitution
Article I Section. 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
[. . . .]
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
Are you her mouthpiece?
“Trump was right to be concerned and helped Ted out big time on this issue. Working as a team!”
Careful, or you’re going to get the lady really ticked at you.
As mentioned before this reading... This disqualifies Trump.

Beautiful instrument. I envy you!
Needs to be copied and posted on the next rally thread don’t you think?
Yes. So, what’s stopping you, Poodle?
It don’t really matter to me, baby
You believe what you want to believe...
Constitution
Article I Section. 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
[ . . . .]
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
Monday. I’m ready.
OK. I believe you're sincere.
I just don't see it.
“As mentioned before this reading... This disqualifies Trump.”
That is a bald faced lie. Trump was born with two U.S. citizen parents in the United States with sole allegiance to the United States. Those facts make him a natural born citizen.
I’ll check it out.
I think there are a couple things that have helped me.
1. Just playing a few minutes per day.
2. I’m finally after all these years, learning the notes of the guitar.
3. After all these years, I’m learning and applying the G and G minor pentatonic scales.
4. I’ve found the software “Transcribe” very useful. There are probably others that are as good or better. It slows down the part, staying in tune, so you can learn it.
5. Tuning the guitar with a digital tuner. The black Snark is good enough IMO, but I’ve also got a Peterson.
6. Having a guitar that is set up and tunes and plays well.
I’ve posted a couple things on Youtube under my moniker “nikos1121.” BTW, have you ever googled your FR handle? You’ll be amazed!
NOt cool to be drinking the hard stuff before noon. Just saying, Poodle.
REady for what?
Oh, yes. I understand now. Will do!!!!
