Texas Attorney Files Eligibility Lawsuit Against Ted Cruz…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 15th | sundance

Posted on 01/15/2016 7:38:46 AM PST by Lockbox

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz should be disqualified from the race because he isn’t a “natural-born citizen,” a fellow Texan claims in a “birther” challenge filed against the senator in a U.S. court.

NO Trump won’t be getting the benefit of this, AMERICA will be getting the benefit....

We won’t have another ‘phony’ in the White House again...that’s what this is all about...

If Cruz was honest, he wouldn’t have ‘locked’ up his papers like the president in the White House has, he would have them out there in public, and would have had since he ran for Senator....but that’s what makes Americans greater than any other people, we know the truth and the truth sets us free....

Good grief. You and DT need to read up on how the courts work.
This is a joke. Law is settled. Only way lefties and DT supporters put stock in it.

Based on research by Greetings Puny Humans, the House and possibly SCOTUS could sabotage Cruz any time they like based on ‘natural born status’.

Hypocritical in light of Obama? You bet. But they really don’t care.

And since Chief ‘Just-us’ Roberts acts like he’s being blackmailed, that makes me uncomfortable with Cruz as our nominee.

The first from the law of nations, which requires the child to be born to 2 citizen parents and on American land. The second under British Common Law, as seen in Blackstone’s commentaries, which, though it removes the requirement of being born in the US, transmits the ‘natural born’ status through the father, not the mother.

Hence why a couple of the liberal scholars keep saying ‘under an Originalist view, Cruz would not be eligible,’ because that’s exactly true. A renowned originalist constitutional scholar (frequently cited by the supreme court) even said the same thing: ‘Cruz is not eligible.’

"OK let me rephrase....NOBODY HAS STANDING UNTILL AFTER HE’S IN....PERIOD.:"

I'm not certain of that, but it did seem that way with Obama. However it also seemed nobody had standing after Obama was in. So I say we go back to court in every way possible and challenge this until there is a federal and probably SCOTUS court ruling one way or another.

I don't think the courts can say nobody has standing until after the election given some of the after election Obama rulings. I think a case can be made that with Obama nobody has standing ever, and therefore the courts should allow challenges prior to the ballot finalization and/or prior to the elections.

"An 85-year-old lawyer, who claims no party affiliation, has filed a 28 page complaint with the U.S. District Court seeking expedited determination of the eligibility of Senator Ted Cruz to be President of The United States."

The 85-year old Attorney is Houston-based Newton B. Schwartz.

Schwartz has carried water for the Democrat Party via political contributions to folks such as Jean Carnahan, James Oberstar, and Forward Together PAC.

The Court will look for some way to wiggle out of hearing this case.

It would be best to get this legally resolved EARLY in the primary season, so it can’t become an issue in the general election.

Right..the science is settled... heard that before. Meanwhile the controversy lingers and Cruz’s support has dropped to 10% according to Morning Consult.

Agree. This situation will prevent non-NBC’s from ever again occupying our People’s House.

Claiming that "time is of the essence" because of the rapidly approaching Iowa caucuses and March 1 Super Tuesday primaries, Schwartz asked that the case be expedited for resolution by the nation’s highest court as soon as possible.



= = = = =

The old guy (age 85) is a lawyer, and a Bernie Sanders supporter.

He claims he just wants to put the issue to rest.

I concur with THAT!

“Hopefully this will be put on a fast track and we can get this silliness behind us.”

Yep, this is a favor to Cruz whether intended or not.
Unfortunately I doubt he has ‘standing’.

Quarter of Republicans think Cruz’s birthplace disqualifies him for president: poll
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3383942/posts

[And it will be 100% of democrats who will peel off low information voter support from Cruz AFTER the primary.]

Senate Majority Leader Mc-Conman, by refusing to back up Cruz’ natural born status, has deliberately sabotaged us. He found a way to toss Cruz supporters and Trump supporters in a cage fight, and also he would rather lose the White House to a democrat than have either Cruz or Trump be President. Mitch McConnell [aka ‘Mc-Conman’] had openly declared war against the Tea Party. So this should come as no surprise.

Now to put the monkey on Trump’s back regarding Cruz eligibility ...

It would be presidential of Trump to help clear up the Cruz-birther issue himself. To do his very best to vindicate Cruz’ eligibility would make Trump greater than ever —

A UNITER.

He could wait until after Iowa, but I hope he does it before New Hampshire at least.

Wouldn’t every registered republican have standing?

No. The only people with standing are those people who, under state or federal law, have the right to contest a candidate's qualifications to appear on the ballot either in a primary or general election.
