But “citizenship” is not the issue. “Natural born citizenship” is the issue. It is the elephant in the room.

NBC is important, I agree.

But there is pretty broad legal consensus on what it means. To an originalist, it might be an issue. Sadly, the chief constitutionalist on the court just died.

That would mean that Cruz’s candidacy would be determined by the 4 liberals. It’s a good time on Scotus for him to have it presented to them for decision.

Barring any lawsuit, this won’t be decided this election, either. He doesn’t appear to be winning for it to become an issue. The only reason Trump could have to file a suit is to do Cruz a favor so he can pick him up as VP.
