After this first court case the score is:
Cruz: 1
Birther Fever Swamp: 0
Since there are additional cases pending, Cruz’s score will change. The other score of course will remain at zero.
IMO, Cruz should have long since sought to have his NBC eligibility status decided in federal court. There is a genuine dispute of a material legal/Constitutional issue here.
The way to interpret the Constitution is as written and originally understood and intended. One one hand, there’s evidence that early understanding of an NBC could include someone born on non-American soil under certain circumstances. On the other hand it’s hard to see how a former citizen of Canada could be now called a natural born citizen of the United States. This thing needs to be resolved in a federal court if Cruz has any chance at all of getting the nomination.
