The court delivers a body blow to the birthers and they now pretend that it never happened. The judge applied the law, so they could challenge law if they wish. It won’t go well for them.

He also delivered a body blow to Cruz. The issue of NBC is now judiciable, and another court might find the opposite of what this judge did.

See my post just above which describes the authorities cited by the judge, and the ramifications of actually applying the SCOTUS authorities he cited to the Cruz case. The judge did NOT apply SCOTUS precedent to the question of "natural born citizenship."

I predict this judge's opinion will be dissected by others, and that such dissection and critique will not make the news.

He applied the law quite selectively in one direction, relying extensively on secondary sources. In particular there is no mention of the concern of the Framers about dual allegiance. We shall see how it stands up on appeal. As an intermediate appeal level decision in a state court it will not carry the weight of an adjudicated res in a federal court.
