Does that sound agreeable to everybody?
***Not to me. We learned a lot when we hashed out the requirements for eligibility 5 years ago. It is germane to this discussion.

Oh, certainly I want people to keep hashing things out. I just didn’t want to make this thread all about Obama. It’s about the definition of “natural born citizen”.

I do hope, though, that rather than clawing at each other because we infer different things from all the various sources of information pertaining to the issue, we can all agree that since the judiciary will eventually have to resolve the questions anyway when Hillary files suit claiming Cruz ineligible, the judiciary needs to clearly state the ground rules BEFORE the game starts, not keep telling us the rules are none of our business even while we have to carry out the essential functions of campaigning, contributing, strategizing, and voting while being kept deliberately blind to the rules our efforts could ultimately be disqualified by.

We can disagree all we want on how the judiciary should end up deciding, but I hope we can all agree that it is essential that the judiciary NOT be left with the option of deciding the rules when most of the game is already over.
