The courts want to duck it if they can.
They dropped the ball on Obama and for all practical purposes have changed the definition of natural born citizen.
Cruz is eligible if Obama was and they will find it that way if forced to.
There are compelling reasons to duck it IMO.
Since CRUZ situation is very similar to Obamas. The two justices O appointed will have to recluse themselves.
That's not the case. It's accepted (true or not) that Obama was born in the USA. Also, Obama's mother lived in the USA after Obama's birth; Cruz's mother did not, and she didn't return for some time.
Accepting Cruz's situation is a further step down the slippery slope away from US exceptionalism provided by the Constitution.
I agree with the posters who say if it isn't resolved the elite may find a way to finagle for those convention votes.
