And Trumps sister is an appellant Jurist Emeritus and a close friend of Sam Alito SO.... Until there is a judicial ruling on the meaning of Natural Born Citizenship all relationships are moot
Do believe that Cruz could personally ask for a decision. It would be the responsible thing to do. Get it behind him
Please don't try to write legalese. It's painful.
An "appellant" is the losing party in a lower court who appeals the decision to a higher court. Trump's sister is not an appellant.
Trump's sister is a senior circuit judge on the fed 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. All that means is that she took senior status after being an Art. III judge for a minimum of 15 years.
What's responsible is for Trump not to raise this nonsense at all. But since he wants a declaratory decision then sue Cruz and request one in court. Oh wait. There's that whole standing issue. Never mind.
