You said Cruz should take it to the courts and that the burden of proof is his.

That’s not how our judicial system works. The burden of proof is always on the accuser.

“The burden of proof is always on the accuser.”

Not in all situations. That occurs only in a trial.

The burden of proof was on me when:

I had to show my birth certificate when I got my driver’s license to prove I was eligible.

I had to show my birth certificate when I applied for college to prove who I was; I’ve had to show my birth certificate on a few job interviews to show that I was eligible for the job; other examples. You get my drift.

Evidently, it is crude and narrow-minded and extremist to actually require a presidential candidate to prove he is eligible according to Constitutional requirements.
