The courts are not going to rule either in his favor or not in his favor. The courts have no jurisdiction and the democrats have no standing.
Exactly right. It is non justiciable at the federal level. Now the states may be a different story. State Electors probably do have standing but if Cruz is on the ballot that argument is not going far.
“The courts are not going to rule either in his favor or not in his favor. The courts have no jurisdiction and the democrats have no standing.”
You haven’t been following the Courts lately, have you. They certainly had no trouble allowing The Cadaver to be replaced in New Jersey, nor do they mind inserting themselves in abortion or gay marriage.
The Courts now do WHATEVER THEY DAMN PLEASE, or more precisely, whatever the Democrats want them to do.
Not correct.
I was watching MSNBC - Lawrence Tribe was a guest of "tingles" Matthews.
He said - "Consider a Democrat State, such as Pennsylvania (my state). PA's Secretary of State is a Democrat.
He could refuse to put Cruz on the ballot stating his own opinion that Cruz is ineligible. Cruz would then have to sue Pennsylvania to become eligible, and the outcome of that suit is in no way easy to determine."
FReepers, Trump is right. Cruz has a problem.
I would far prefer Cruz to withdraw from this race, support Trump and go back and lead the Senate for the Conservative agenda.
After a few years, President Trump could (should) nominate Cruz for the Supreme Court when Ruth Bader Witchburg finally kicks the bucket.
That's quite a different opinion from those I've been reading in the legal community online. There seems to be a fairly even split as to whether or not Cruz's eligibility is a question.
The only opinion's I've read on this topic (while disagreeing on the eligibility question) all seem to agree that the Courts need to weigh in and resolve this one.
Wish they'd have done that in 2008 ...... but maybe that's just me I suppose.
