They are actually doing this for Obama.

Slate? They hate Cruz. They know if Trump were elected he’d release the truth about Obama’s birth out of the country. They want to define NBC this way to protect their guy.

Responding to the issues.

1. Cruz stepped up and released this info most likely as a direct result of Breitbart showing his mother was on the Canadian voter roles.

This posed a problem because, at the time, Canada’s oath of citizenship for new citizens required they renounce their previous citizenship.

With the b.c., Cruz has stepped up and said his mother was never a Canadian citizen. That clears up that issue.

2. Regardless of the b.c. or his mom, there are those that believe a NBC is determined by the status of the father, as per the framers. Madison was the primary architect of the Constitution and he wrote in 1790 requirements of naturalization that defined NBC born here in the U.S. and determined by the citizenship status of the father.

Likely any USSC today would go for the broader definition that a NBC was a ‘legal citizen of the U.S. at birth.’

But it’s not a resolved issue legally. It’s ‘highly probable.’

Finally, I like Cruz. He’d be great for the Supreme Court. He’s the most conservative of the candidates. My concern for him is the GOPe wouldn’t give him the money to run. They’d starve his campaign and they are more than happy to stick with Hillary. I don’t see Cruz getting many black votes. Hispanics, yes. I’d be happy with him or Trump, but think Trump has the edge given his broader appeal and bankroll.

Raising these issues isn’t ‘throwing rocks’ at a candidate. It’s vetting issues in house and bullet proofing a candidate so Hillary and the evil Clinton machine don’t chop them up later.

Better to bring up all the negatives now in the primary and then it’s ‘old news’ by the time the general arrives.

Let’s not get in a war that spills over into the general. We need to defeat the Dems. This may be our last shot to save the country.

Hadn’t heard that, is there a basis for it, any links? I don’t think they are that big of fools. And I don’t think Trump wants to spend that much of his own money. Is that even how it works?

I think it extremely important to have Cruz. He has studied all things conservatism from a young age, he breathes it. I am terrified at who Trump would fill the courts with including SCOTUS. He shows a lot of affection for liberals that most conservatives dislike. Can’t believe right after he announced he mentioned his sister would be great SCOTUS - very liberal judge.

You haven't done your work yet. The US Supreme Court has addressed this specifically.

It's time we made this site a serious "WORK" and not just trash talk.
