In Pennsylvania Senior Judge Dan Pellegrini has ruled that Ted Cruz may appear on the Pennsylvania ballot this coming April 26.
Judge Pellegrini wrote:
“Having extensively reviewed all the articles cited in this opinion, as well as many others, this Court holds, consistent with the common law precedent and statutory history, that a “natural born citizen” includes any person who is a United States citizen from birth.”

His argument that the definition of natural born citizen is justiciable (capable of being adjudicated in a court of law) is based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision that a natural born citizen cannot be denaturalized.

Cruz eligibility challenger Carmon Elliott appealed to the State’s Supreme Court. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed Judge Pellegrini’s ruling.

Wrong docket sheet, different case. Elliott’s name appears nowhere on the docket sheet you linked to. Your contentions are correct, but the evidence you produced in support is a non sequitur.
