He doesn’t have standing.
Where’s Orly Taitz?
Ho Hum.
Good, maybe we’ll start seeing them pop up in all of the states.
Birthers, these are the kinds of fruitcakes that see things your way.
If one of the states refuses to place Cruz on the ballot, then Cruz may bring a suit seeking a remedy. That’s the only way that the courts will agree to consider this question. This guy will get nothing but some publicity.

Standing ?
Exactly.
No standing.
Bottom line, ON, NTSA
But Walter L. Wagner and Luis Sancho contend that scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, have played down the chances that the collider could produce, among other horrors, a tiny black hole, which, they say, could eat the Earth. Or it could spit out something called a “strangelet” that would convert our planet to a shrunken dense dead lump of something called “strange matter.” Their suit also says CERN has failed to provide an environmental impact statement as required under the National Environmental Policy Act.

This is not the first time around for Mr. Wagner. He filed similar suits in 1999 and 2000 to prevent the Brookhaven National Laboratory from operating the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. That suit was dismissed in 2001. The collider, which smashes together gold ions in the hopes of creating what is called a “quark-gluon plasma,” has been operating without incident since 2000.
Mr. Wagner, who lives on the Big Island of Hawaii, studied physics and did cosmic ray research at the University of California, Berkeley, and received a doctorate in law from what is now known as the University of Northern California in Sacramento. He subsequently worked as a radiation safety officer for the Veterans Administration.
Asking a Judge to Save the World, and Maybe a Whole Lot More

“he alleges, their intention at Cruz’s birth was “to have residency or citizenship in a foreign (non-U.S.A.) country.””
I know of nothing in the law that says that disqualifies someone from becoming a natural-born citizen, but unlike that Swiss nonsense about “Les naturels,” that does seem to be a reasonable natural-law requirement.
The problem for the would-be plaintiff, my understanding is that Cruz’ parents had not established official residence in Canada, and returned to the United States.
Can’t they claim racism and just ignore it. Worked for Obama...
He sounds reasonable.
Let’s get him on Fox and Msmpms
I read about this possibility on another board.
One of Rove’s plans:
1. GOPe back Cruz.
2. Cruz wins.
3. Dems file suits, Judge-shop for Lib judges
4. Judge rules Cruz ineligible (regardless of whether he is or not)
5. Power to select alternate candidate reverts back to Rove/GOPe.
6. Rove picks...............JEB!

Mega-Feeble!

I don't see any of these allegations as involving a substantive challenge--what the parents intended; whatever. The issue is what is required to be natural born under Article II Sec. 1.
No doubt Cruz was a US Citizen at birth, no matter what the intent was. Also no doubt that the birth did not occur within the geographical territory subject to sovereignty of the several states. Easy case--no dispute about the facts. Just a pure argument about what the law is.
Hopefully get the case before a three judge court and seek urgent review from the Supreme court.
