The very same judge in New Jersey (Masin) who ruled on Ted Cruz also ruled Obama to qualify as a natural born citizen. There were 21 state and federal court rulings finding Obama to be a natural born citizen.

Here ‘s an excerpt from the New Jersey ruling: Purpura & Moran v Obama: New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Jeff S. Masin: “No court, federal, state or administrative, has accepted the challengers’ position that Mr. Obama is not a “Natural Born Citizen” due to the acknowledged fact that his father was born in Kenya and was a British citizen by virtue of the then applicable British Nationality Act. Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born. It is unnecessary to reinvent the wheel here. … The petitioners’ legal position on this issue, however well intentioned, has no merit in law. Thus, accepting for the point of this issue that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ regardless of the status of his father.” April 10, 2012

And from Arizona: Allen v Obama, Arizona Superior Court Judge Richard E. Gordon: “Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”—Pima County Superior Court, Tuscon, Arizona, March 7, 2012

The issues for Cruz are not the same as the issues were for Obama.

Cruz is a much easier case (for challenging eligibility) than Obama was.

Again, I am not saying that any court will actually hold Cruz ineligible.

After all, we are living at a time when the power to regulate interstate commerce includes such things as the power to regulate growing your own wheat on your own property and making it into bread for yourself to eat, and the power to regulate your CO2 "emissions", and when the power to tax includes the power to force people to purchase specific health insurance contracts.

By ignorant people who do not have the faintest idea regarding what that term means. As I keep pointing out, they are doing the same thing with marriage. And lately, bathrooms.

The modern judiciary is a parade of kookery wrapped up in the trappings of legal scholarship.
