It's an issue until his place in the election contest expires, win, lose, or drop out.
-- I don't agree with calling people who question his eligibility stupid or kooks or whatever. --
Cruz hasn't used any name calling. I'm just saying that if something is settled (sun rises in the east), and somebody holds the opposite (sun rises in the west), well, there is something about that "sun rises in the west" person, know what I mean?
-- What I do think is stupid is to leave this matter unresolved in such a way that we could get blind sided with it at a time when we have no recourse. --
I wouldn't call it stupid. It's a calculated risk. There is no way to resolve it outside of the political process, the one we are in the middle of. A court is not going to interfere with a major race.
When I referred to name calling, I should have stated that I was referring to Mark Levin specifically, and not to Cruz.
I listen to him each night, and it annoys me how he belittles people who do question this. Calling them stupid is not going to make the issue go away, Mark. It’s not going to convince them that they are wrong.
Some people look at that clause in the Constitution and say this is what it says, and this it what it means. And I do not think it’s an attack form the left either. It’s an argument born out of Article II of the Constitution, and it could have serious repercussions in a court.
So yeah, that line of my post is directed at Levin, and I should have said that.
As far as a calculated risk, yes, I would agree with that. This is basically a Catch 22 SNAFU here.
