Do you think SCOTUS would render a decision that removes NBC from the constitution, allowing naturalized citizens to assume the office? You lay 2:1 odds that it would do that?

No, I never said that. The question is what exactly NBC means. I think it's 2 to 1 (just a guess) that they would rule for Cruz. First you have to remember that the court takes politics into consideration, that's just a fact. Now the real question is would they rule there are two classes of citizens, those born a citizen, and those who aren't born citizens and are naturalized (immigrants). The other alternative is three classes, NBC, those born citizen but not NBC, and naturalized. I think it's more likely that they choose the former.

I'm not a lawyer, but there are very qualified lawyers who argue both sides if this issue. And SCOTUS has never directly ruled on what an NBC is. Notice I'm attacked by both sides when I say it's not settled, which is a pretty good indication that I'm right.
