Two reasons:
First, because the Republican party [like all of our political elite] is dominated by open-borders/new-world-order types (if it wasn't, they would have addressed border security) and the Natural Born Citizen clause is, in fact, a poignant reminder of nationalism. It is therefore in their interest to subvert the NBC requirement — this is why McCain, whose eligibility was also questionable, was pushed opposite Obama. (That way regardless of who won, precedent would be set for eroding the NBC requirement.)
Second, and perhaps most importantly, the confirmation indicates what is either a widespread conspiracy to knowingly install the ineligible, or the widespread apathy and malfeasance/misfeasance that would allow them to unknowingly install the ineligible. — Remember that those in power do not like to be humiliated, to be ridiculed, shown as utterly weak and ineffectual, would likely be worse to them on a personal level than an actual Treason charge. — So, once the deed was done [certification that he was eligible] they had painted themselves into a corner
and, the courts realizing that any scrutiny in the matter would necessitate huge portions of our governmental elite being removed/prosecuted were essentially forced to play along, denying everyone standing to bring a case (those that weren't already perfectly aligned with the NWO/open-borders crowd).
And, dang-it, now I have to ping Nully about a nut-job conspiracy!
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
So tell me when was Mr. Cruz or Mr. Obama naturalized? When and where did the ceremonies occur and where is the paperwork? Without naturalization ceremonies or paperwork a person who is not a natural born citizen can not become a citizen
Now knock off the nonsense knucklehead!
