It would be weird if this judge was appointed by obama, an INDONESIAN.
Guess all those hundreds of thousands of military dependents born overseas may have to be deported if a liberal judge does what Trump is paying him for.
The odds don’t look good. This news escaped, the sheeple are seeing and hearing it, might change some folks minds, give them some doubt, make them reconsider, vote for the home boy.
Well if it is so clear...why did scalia think you had to be born on US soil
Apparently, trutherism is also now a political issue.
How does this plaintiff have “standing” and the Obama plaintiffs never did?
Some voters have more Standing than others!
From now on pregnant moms, if overseas have your child on official US soil like an embassy or military base.
US SOIL, the geographical material withing the 50 states, and i believe US territories.
Thats DIRT, could be gravel, middle of a lake, top of Mt. Rushmore.....!
Its a symbolic meaning of loyalty, means way more than most people are willing to accept.
Thats the requirement to be President, who needs less than 100% American?
Aren’t all Cook County Circuit Court judge Democrats (and politically active)?
I’d think only a state judge with a political agenda would accept this case.
Does anyone from Illinois have any insight on this?
Are they going to hear Obama’s at the same time? Not one Republican had the guts to do this when Obama was running.
Past time to get this out in the open and judicially resolved before nominating Cruz
My prediction - dismissed for a lack of standing
WHAT??
Follow the constitution???
I’ll believe that when I see it.
Cruz is not a natural born citizen, Rubio is not a natural born citizen, and Obama is not a natural born citizen. The effort to destroy the NBC clause is at full tilt and it seems like alot of freepers are more than willing to drive the final nail.
Chicago Court
I think this Illinois suit will take a long time to work its way up to the Federal level and when it gets there the court will summarily dismiss it on standing. If we learned anything in the Obozo go-around, it was that you need a competing candidate for standing in the Federal courts. Otherwise, the slip and slide judges will avoid the case. Additionally, I do not believe the “political question” dodge, cited by some, will work at the Federal level because the Article II ‘natural born citizen’ term is truly a Constitutional interpretation issue that only the Federal court system can resolve. Courts can not legitimately say that the people and Congress can define this term in the political arena. If they do, Federal judges have deliberately abdicating their jurisdictional duty to decide Constitutional questions.
"Clear" to him, and "clear" to me, but it's never been settled by the Supreme Court. And even though Cruz believes (and I believe) it's "clear," there is still an argument going the other way. And as long as there is, and someone raises it, then we have that question mark, no matter how tiny it may seem.
Mind you, we're simply talking about the meaning of "natural born citizen" in the context of the Constitution's requirements for presidential eligibility, not about whether he (or anyone else born abroad to at least one U.S. citizen parent) is a citizen.
Frankly I thought the Dems would wait until he had won before unleashing this type of chaos.
