LOL. I forgot. All SC decisions are correct.
Better?
LOL.
Correct or not, and I agree that many are not, they are treated as "settling the issue as a matter of law."
If, hypothetically, the case went before SCOTUS, and SCOTUS said Cruz was naturalized, we'd be in the same boat as far as public dialog goes, but a different boat as far as whether Cruz could occupy the office.
Would you LOL if SCOTUS said a citizen born under the law that Cruz was, was a naturalized citizen?
