And if Cruz became the candidate, his non-natural born citizen status would be thrown at him and a judge would all of a sudden find some standing.
Guaranteed.
Of all the criticisms some of us may have about Ted Cruz, the NBC issue is, without a doubt, the biggest deal-breaker of all.
As you say, if he becomes the nominee, there is NO doubt the Democrats will take him to court over his questionable eligibility, and they won't stop until they get it before the Supremes to decide.
Given the current makeup of the Court, I have serious doubts they'll find in Senator Cruz's favor. In point of fact, no court that reveres and respects the Constitution, would. The man is simply not eligible to be president, under the Framers' understanding of the term, 'natural born citizen'.
The correct decision in this matter would go a long way toward upholding our Constitution, but it would mean chaos for the election of our next president.
