While discussing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Grayson told Colmes he didn’t view Cruz as a natural-born citizen and would challenge his candidacy with a lawsuit if he were selected by GOP voters to be the party’s presidential nominee.
Partial transcript as follow (courtesy Fox News Radio):
....
GRAYSON: It's resolved itself into this weird reality show. It's not "The Biggest Loser" that they're choosing, it's "The Biggest Bigot."
COLMES: That's very interesting, are they all bigots?
GRAYSON: Show me one who represents the exception here. In a sense I guess Cruz is not technically that way, because technically he's not even an America.
COLMES: Well, his mother was born here, so I guess like Obama, though it's interesting to me the people who had a problem with Obama, though it's interesting to me that the people who had a problem with Obama's birth certificate don't have a problem with Ted Cruz who literally was born in another country and renounced his Canadian citizenry.
GRAYSON: I don't know … the Constitution says natural-born Americans, so now we're counting Canadians as natural born Americans? How does that work? I'm waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying that he's unqualified for the job because he's ineligible.
...
COLMES: Now I wonder, does he qualify because of having an American mother can considered an American citizen and in fact he renounced his Canadian citizenship to be an American citizen, but you’re talking about American birth, but I believe if that’s one of you parents —
GRAYSON: Look, even the anchor babies are actually born here. He doesn’t even meet that qualification.

Bring it.
Neither of these two will do anything, they are just talking to the dem nut fringe.
Wish they would, these jesters would be laughed out of court.
That lack of standing thing always puzzled/annoyed me.How can any citizen not have standing in court on an issue that will affect them?
I doubt the Supreme Court would hear the case. But the Natural Born Citizen clause in our Constitution definitely needs to be reviewed and defined. I find it hard to believe the founder thought that a foreign born child with only one US citizen parent would be a natural born citizen. GIs stationed oversea father lots of children are they all NBCs too? What about the children of American trophy wives married to rich Arabs? This really needs to be addressed by the Supreme Court.
It won’t ever get to court. No standing, remember?
I saw mouthpiece Colmes on Fox today (or yesterday) and yeah, he really looks bad. Always a goofy looking guy like Grayson is, but Colmes looking “old and cold”
The Wise Latina will help us figure things out.
Just what one item will set the people to rebel against the supremes and the president... (capitals omitted on purpose)? could it be to do the final straw in this next election and rule against Cruz? if they go after Trump or Cruz.. will that be enough to overrule the likes of roberts?
Something has to move us to take our country back.
By what path do you think it would ever reach the SCOTUS?
How so?
Barry was born. Maybe in HI, maybe in Kenya. His father was not a US Citizen, his mother was.
Ted was born in Canada. His father, born in Cuba, was a Canadian Citizen, his mother was a US Citizen.
I wouldn't be so sure of that.
During the debate, Cruz insisted that he would not have appointed Roberts. "It is true that after George W. Bush nominated John Roberts I supported his nomination and I regret that," he said. "We have an out-of-control court."

The libs know that both Cruz and the Donald are gaining interest because Americans have had enough.
The guy looks like he’s been embalmed and nobody told him.
When McCain ran against Hussein it was established pretty much that citizenship, natural born or other, is no longer relevant. Any mom on earth can know that her daughter can grow up to be the president of the United States.
I bet Grayson will be found to have standing.
Yeah, well you have very nicely described the down side.
His mother was not able to pass citizenship to the baby. That was the law.
sorry.
Citizenship isn’t the issue. Natural Born Citizenship is.
Grayson is an idiot and he’s also a lawyer (but I repeat myself). He should be able to understand the term “de facto.” After 0bama, Cruz is de facto qualified.
