Thanks for your informative post to me. I certainly don’t claim to be an expert here.
When I see the Liberal Media jumping all over this ‘story’ as a way to attack and destroy Cruz, it causes me stop and question why we’re helping them.
At the end of the day, if this does go before a court, Cruz will be deemed to be a U.S. Citizen, eligible to be President.
You have a confidence in this outcome that I cannot possibly share. I am long accustomed to the courts behaving one way when it benefits liberal causes, and a totally different way when it benefits conservative causes.
Apart form that, I know of a very prominent supreme court case in which they emphatically state that a person born outside the jurisdiction of the United States can only be a naturalized citizen.
People will say "That's just Dicta", but still, it represents the Opinion of the Supreme court at that time.
You see my point. This goes beyond Cruz. We need this resolved sooner rather than later. We live in a global society with Americans living and working all over the globe. And birthright citizenship is a can of worms that needs to be ended. One of the effects is having a child of illegal aliens eligible to be President. Is that what our Founders wanted?
