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.

I agree with the timing. As i am an originalist and have been since my youth, I am distressed to see the constitution reduced bit by bit every day. We need to educate our citizens and go back to teaching Civics in school.
I don’t think Trump has any interest in picking up Cruz as his VP since Cruz has turned so rabid. I would hope Trump wouldn’t even consider it. Someone like Sessions would be far more valuable. Cruz’s sneak tactics and holier than thou attitude has nixed him for too many people. He’s no longer useful.
