I think we need to stop being emotional about this and let the courts decide.
I recall that almost all of us we’re unglued with the obvious fake BC Obama was touting.
Cruz has a problem. Whether you are for or against him, the matter will solve itself by us saying it’s so. It’s not.
Sorry, Judge Napolitano, it’s not. Sorry, Mark YOU IDIOT Levin, It’s not. Sorry, all you TRump haters out there, it’s not.
Anyone, who thinks it is, is naïve.
You call Mark Levin an idiot - what are your credentials and education (other than a GED) ?
Actually, unless a judge wants to dismiss Cruz because he or she is a leftist activist, which of course IS possible, objectively in the legal ruling sense, Cruz has no problem.
The view these days seem to be Cruz was born to an American mother and a Cuban father who had been a legal resident long enough for there to be no problems.
The reality is I can pretty much guarantee that an objective court would rule since Cruz never had to be naturalized he is natural born.
You can argue that it conflicts with the meaning of the founders, and I too am interested in that. But even that was amended twice in rather short order after they put it in.
Cruz has a bit of a pproblem in the court of public opinion. I am not saying that is irrelevant.
The courts will not decide, that's the "problem."
Trump speaks of Cruz going and getting a "declaratory judgement." I don't know where he gets the idea that this is even possible. France has its "Constitutionnel Conseil" that does that sort of thing,* but we do not. SCOTUS doesn't rule on hypothetical future possibilities, and is not authorized to do that.
Of course, Trump runs quickly to uber-Leftist "Rorshach Constitution" Lawrence Tribe to get an "expert" opinion. Which ought to tell you something about Trump.
*In France, legislators can run to the "Constitutionnel Conseil" to get a pre-determination of whether pending legislation or procedure would be constitutional or not. Sounds like a good idea at first, but who's appointing people to the Conseil?
