Judge Jeff Masin ruled Tuesday that a child of a citizen-father or citizen-mother is "indeed a natural born Citizen within the contemplation of the Constitution."

Not possible. It has been posted on FR that he is not eligible.

LOL. This is just for NJ's state primary ballot.

Once Cruz goes national, he's toast.

The Judge is under Obama’s rule - of course he is going to be anti-birther. /S

The sad thing is that the Constitution has been so twisted by activist and "pragmatic" interpretations that very few of us on FR can be certain this was a Constitutionally correct decision.

Cruz may be NBC or may not be, but we'll never know because our understanding of the Constitution has been so warped by liberals and conservatives alike that it is now indistinguishable from radio static.

In the end, Judge Masin ruled that Obama’s nomination petition was not defective, Obama had no obligation to prove his eligibility, and that in general the children of aliens born in the United States were natural born citizens.

Framers intention:l for natural born: born on American soil of two American citizens.

Obama: born on American soil of one American citizen.

And now? Born on foriegn soil with one American citizen parent.

What is the over/under on amount of time before no American attachment is needed to be qualified to hold the highest nation in the land.

The courts have truly screwed us.

That's nonsense. That is the Birther Brigade intention, but they weren't around when the Constitution was crafted.

leftist judges encouraging the nomination of an obviously ineligible candidate isn’t exactly shocking.

question:
if cruz is a natural born citizen because he had citizenship at birth (using their definition of the phrase)... then he wouldn’t he ALSO a natural born citizen of CANADA and a natural born citizen of CUBA?

he would.

OBVIOUSLY, you cannot be a natural born citizen of more then one country. that would be absurd.

why would a leftist judge say he’s eligible?
to get him on the ticket... to later be overruled by the top courts.

but hey... you keep pushing for hillary.

The GOPe will find a judge who thinks otherwise and take Cruz out when they are good and ready. Not now. Now they need him to take down Trump.

Also King George could have knocked up an American woman and the framers would’ve accepted the child as a natural born citizen able to hold the highest office in the land? Smell test.... No pass.

Not sure how the natural born clause can be considered a protection to the highest office if anybody with any remote American connection can be president.
