Trump needs to immediately stop feuding with Senator Cruz. It is all very counter-productive. Cruz’s presidential aspirations just went to the grave with Justice Scalia.

Before Scalia died there was a good chance that Cruz would prevail in an eligibility lawsuit if it went before the Supreme Court. Now the Supreme Court will be deadlocked and a liberal appeals courts decision will stand. If the Republicans let an Obama get away with a “recess appointment” until it expires at the end of the year... the Supreme Court will do the dirty work.

Senator 99-1 isn’t winning a general election with a SCOTUS seat riding on the outcome. Cruz would be lucky to win 10 states with social issues being a centerpiece of his campaign.

There’s not a single SC justice - even that lunatic Ginsburg - who would vindicate the wacko birthers who say Cruz is ineligible.

So it would’ve been 9-0 against the tinfoil hat crowd...and now it would be 8-0.

Wow I never thought of this. You know that the libs aren't going to miss the chance to exploit this about Cruz and you know that they will find a lib judge to do whatever they want.
