Grayson a US Rep is going to sue and he will have standing.

I’m not sure why Trump is getting flak for raising a real issue.

Well, it’s not a judgment because there is no case being made.

It’s called a declarative court statement and is common.

With any luck, this would drag Odumbo’s situation into this mess as well, perhaps as an example of precedent, which would then need to be analyzed in great detail.

It is common when there is an actual dispute between actual parties. One party cannot seek an ex parte declaratory judgment concerning his or her legal status.

Um Trump did release his medical records. If you're gonna make a funny, make it funny

Do you trust his personal doctor? I'm not saying that his personal doctor of many years can't be trusted.

But where is his CAT scan? Why hasn't it been released? Is he hiding something?

Why will Grayson have standing? Can he show damages?

The only problem is that Obama (fake or not) produced a BC that stated he was born in Hawaii.

Cruz has a big old BC clearly stating that he was born in Canada.

We could only be so lucky though.

I think he is doing Cruz a favor. He has taken a lesson from the Clintons. If there is an issue that is going to be an issue later, better to get it done with sooner.The Democrats are going to have a screaming fit about it if Cruz becomes the nominee. Better to deal with it now and let it be old news then.

If it could be established that litigation is about to occur or imminent, I think it could be argued that rights of potentially litigating parties need clarification before actually initiating litigation.

The Cruz people ought to be looking to Cruz himself and demanding to know why this was not effectively nailed down months ago.

It doesn’t matter how mad they are at Trump, this issue is real, unresolved, and would have been the mother of all October surprises if it was just left to chance.

Like what did they think would happen? That the press, Hillary, and the DNC would just let it go?

The only thing the Democrats did was what the GOP should have done in 2008.

“Why will Grayson have standing? Can he show damages?”

A California or NY judge will give him all the standing he wants.

Have you forgotten that his is a lawyer

I haven't. The last thing we need is yet another lawyer politician with a close history with the Bush dynasty running the country.

No thanks.

Cruz needs a definitive judgement NOW to be considered as VP.

Trump simply tying-up loose ends so no surprises in the general.

".... Another possibility is that the Democrats will use this to knock Trump for talking about it, saying something like “there goes Trump, off the rails again”, etc..."

.... Good point .... I like the fact that Trump forced this to the forefront now instead of allowing the media to frame the talking points and waiting for a so called "Strategic" moment for maximum effect to escalate the discussion!

.... Cruz needs to be prepared for absolutely any kind of attack including the stupid stuff from the Lame Mushy Brained Media.
