If Cruz was half the lawyer his cheering section claims he is he'd have taken care of this a year ago if not long before that.

Turns out all the super lawyer stuff is just smoke and mirrors, more marketing than reality.

Guess Cruz figured renouncing his Canadian citizenship and having his birth records sealed was the way to handle it.
It has come back to bite him in the butt...big time. I can’t see him gaining any momentum...and of course Trump won’t pick him as VP.

How was he going to do that? Courts act retrospectively on stuff like this. That is to say, they wait until something happens and then decide what to do about it. They aren't going to deal with hypotheticals or what ifs.

And to bring a case to court you have to argue that you were wronged in some way. Maybe I don't quite have it right, but you could file suit to get Ted off the ballot if you don't think he's eligible, and he could file suit if he's kept off the ballot, but he can't file suit to ensure that nobody ever kicks him off.

What I'm trying to say is that sometimes there isn't an immediate legal resolution of difficulties you might face -- even if you are a "super lawyer."

Exactly.
