This is the same Alan Dershowitz that says according to Cruz’s Originalist interpretation of the constitution, Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen?
The kind of judge Cruz says he admires and would appoint to the Supreme Court is an originalist, one who claims to be bound by the narrowly historical meaning of the Constitutions terms at the time of their adoption. To his kind of judge, Cruz ironically wouldnt be eligible, because the legal principles that prevailed in the 1780s and 90s required that someone actually be born on US soil to be a natural born citizen. Even having two US parents wouldnt suffice. And having just an American mother, as Cruz did, would have been insufficient at a time that made patrilineal descent decisive.
Yes. Boom.
