This whole thing just makes some of us look stupid.
If we couldn’t ace Obama on the NBC issue, you are not going to ace Cruz.
The cases are mostly clear (i.e., IMHO you are wrong), but the COURTS ARE NOT GOING TO TOUCH THIS. That is, unless Hillary is the Donk nominee and Cruz is the Republican nominee. Then and only then, the left wing judges might pay attention to a reading of the Constitution that puts Hillary in power.
That what you want?
That’s not what I want. That’s what Alan Grayson has promised will happen if Cruz is the nominee. That’s why we need to have this resolved BEFORE we choose our nominee.
“That what you want?”
The Election of the Republicans, Garfield and Arthur, resulted in a person who was not a U.S. citizen, Chester Arthur, becoming President. While President, Chester Arthur put a Justice on the Supreme Court who subsequently authored an erroneous decision, United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) which played a key role in making it possible for anchor babies to obtain U.S. citizenship where they arguably were not supposed to obtain U.S. citizenship. The attractiveness of being able to secure U.S. citizenship through the use of anchor babies helped to kick illegal immigration into high gear, and it helped to put Obama into the White House. How many more unintended consequences do you want to set into motion by continuing the unlawful violations of the natural born citizen clause versus the number of unintended consequences you want to risk by enforcing the natural born citizen clause?
