That's the whole point.
On its merits, Ted Cruz is not eligible to be the President of the United states.
However, there is no judge - especially at the state level - who is going to overturn the apple cart and rule ineligible a leading presidential candidate, well into the primaries, and who has been a sitting Senator. This decision is political more than anything else.
It really is irrelevant what SCOTUS says. No one believes them anyway. They will throw it back to the lower courts unless there are a majority of courts that rule him ineligible.
Can anyone tell us how many courts have ruled Cruz ineligible?
Bingo! (Although I think it’s arguable whether or not Cruz is eligible on the merits.)
I really wish my fellow Trumsters would just drop this issue. It’s is not going anywhere, is a distraction, and makes us look like nutjobs. IT IS NOT HELPING!
It’s also a non-issue. No way Cruz becomes the nominee. He can’t get to the required number of delegates by vote, and the nominee from a brokered convention will be some GOPe puke.
PS After that, a lot of us will simply never vote for a GOPe puke again!
