You're right, the Supreme Court may not touch the issue unless some other court rules against Cruz along the way. My point is that no one is going to stop Ted Cruz from running for President on eligibility grounds - not the legislature and not the courts.

This is just another way of saying our system is broken. Well duh.

No, that is not at all what I am saying. If the Supreme Court took the case they almost certainly would rule that Cruz is eligible. Neither the legislature or the judicial branch are going to rule Cruz ineligible. I simply agreed the Supreme Court wouldn't likely take the case unless some lower court ruled against Cruz (which I doubt would happen).
