Cruz made a major mistake letting this drag out. He should have taken Donald’s advice and gotten a Declaratory Judgement.
Now he has a lawsuit out of Texas to oontend with. A Congressmen is threatening to file suit too.
And none of this makes Cruz look like the “Defender of the Consitution” that he painted himself to be.

The only thing that is going to help Cruz now is an American Birth Certificate....

The ‘conservative’ news isn’t going to do a thing, the first law suit filed and won against Cruz, they are going to drop him like a hot potato....they have done it before and they will do it again...

Unseal your hidden documents Cruz and quit acting like obuma and show us what you have...

Ted Cruz is the only REAL Conservative in the race! He supports the Original Intent of the Constitution! (Except Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of course.)

I have been wondering why Lawrence Tribe spoke up about this topic.

Neither he nor his parents were born in this country. Could he be just a little jealous that Ted Cruz has one parent who fulfills the eligibility and Tribe doesn't?

One other thing - the Great Lawrence Tribe has NEVER defended the Constitution as a professor nor as a lawyer arguing his cases in front of the Supreme Court.

And some people think he should be listened to?

“Unseal your hidden documents Cruz and quit acting like obuma and show us what you have”

So what documents do you think he has hidden?

His laughing it off was a mistake last night. He needed to explain why he is Natural Born so everyone could understand. He needed to put it to bed and did not.

Pray America wakes

"And I'll tell you, I'm not going to be taking legal advice from Donald Trump."

He wasn't giving you legal advice. He was giving you POLITICAL advice and you'd be well served to take it.

He does.

And some of them are making fools of themselves over it now. The rest will make fools of themselves when the feathers stop flying.

It’s really too bad...

Supreme Court doesn't issue advisory opinions.

You know, the 25% polled who said Cruz BC a problem? Probably every single one a hardcore trumpee. DT is ridiculous. Doesn’t he know how many cases and briefs Ted has filed with SCOTUS?
Trumpees here can’t even admit Trump farts much less recognize facts.

Rather obvious if looking at some of his history:

Federal Court issues Declaratory Judgements.

Wikipedia on Declaratory Judgement

"A declaratory judgment is typically requested when a party is threatened with a lawsuit but the lawsuit has not yet been filed;"

Too late for Cruz now. The lawsuit has been filed.

From whom? A liberal judge? No thanks.

It is interesting to me that so many people on this site are siding with Ginsburg intead of Scalia on this topic just because they like Ted Cruz.

Scalia - leans toward AT LEAST Jus Soli

Ginsburg leans toward Jus Sanguinis

Yep. It appears to be the rope "they" gave his ego along with a map to the tallest trees and flagpoles on the White House grounds.

Ted?!? Wha' happened, man?

You coulda been a defenda of the Constitooshun(!)...instead of a natural born pretenda for President.

You were my greatest hope, Anakin, but you're breaking my heart!
And, you're going down a path I cannot follow!

Because he's just another Harvard liberal hack who hates Conservatives. That's why. You don't know that by now?

Donald Grump was attempting a whisper smear and giving future credit to Hillary, who Grump is a big fan.
