Just because you don’t like it or don’t understand it, that doesn’t mean your view of the Constitution is correct.

True, but beside the point. I did not even say "my view" of the Constitution is "correct." I simply said that the best arguments, by far, are against Cruz on this issue.

You seem to disagree with this statement.

But I have read this copy of the Pennsylvania ruling and the complete text of all of the references it cites in support of eligibility for Cruz. I have also read the cited portions of the primary sources cited in those references (which may be more than the author of the ruling has done, based on the limited number of primary source citations in the ruling).

I stand by the statement. The best arguments, by far, are against eligibility for Cruz.

The arguments against Cruz are deceptive at best. The Birther Movement and the Trumpsters are misreading SCOTUS opinions that have nothing to do with Presidential eligibility and cherry pick comments in opinions that are part of the rationale portion of opinions and are not part of the decision. Some are doing it out of ignorance, but many are doing it to fool people.

The law (U.S.C 8, Section 1401) supports Cruz and that law has yet to challenged in court. You do know that most Constitutional challenges start with the relevant laws and in the end a successful challenge overturns the law on grounds of a Constitutional test. That has yet to happen, so all of these “experts” are just wind bags. This process is not a popularity contest among the various references out there in Internet Land.
