Of course, if Cruz is our standard bearer, I am voting for him, but I fear that the dems will wait until it is too late to field another candidate, then try to DQ Cruz because he was foreign born. I hope, if he indeed runs, that he has the good sense to seek a court ruling on his eligibility very early on.

This is exactly the sort of thing I would expect from them, and they will miraculously find a way to get "Standing" because everyone knows the Judiciary is infested with Liberal worms.

Add to that the Media Trumpets all continuously running stories questioning his eligibility, and even if he wins the Judicial fights, they will have so badly polluted the waters that it might cost him the election anyway.

Unlike their prostrate coma regarding Obama's legitimacy, the media will work feverishly at questioning any Republican.

But there *IS* no better choice for us. We will have to figure out how to defang both the Presstitutes and the Judicial whores.

Really, there is need for any concern in this regard. The citizenship law that governs the period of Cruz' birth (1970) clearly states that, in the event of an overseas birth, American citizenship can be conveyed by a.) a single parent who has b.)resided in American for at least ten years, five of them after the age of 14.

Elizabeth Wilson Darragh Cruz easily passes the threshold.

Cruz's eligibility is your basic "open and shut case". Challenging it in a court of law would draw, at best, a guffaw, at worst, a contempt charge, from any competent jurist.

It is not difficult to gain standing.
All that is needed is a plaintiff who can demonstrate DIRECT injury from the actions of the defendant. In a candidate eligibility lawsuit, the persons with standing are the opposing candidates who were denied the office by the ineligible candidate.

The three requirements of standing:
(1) Injury-in-fact: The plaintiff must have suffered or imminently will suffer injury—an invasion of a legally protected interest that is (a) concrete and particularized, and (b) actual or imminent (that is, neither conjectural nor hypothetical; not abstract). The injury can be either economic, non-economic, or both.
(2) Causation: There must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of, so that the injury is fairly traceable to the challenged action of the defendant and not the result of the independent action of some third party who is not before the court.
And (3) Redressability: It must be likely, as opposed to merely speculative, that a favorable court decision will redress the injury.
