or do we have time to deliberate?

Plenty of time. Me personally? I believe the courts will treat Cruz just as they treated Obama. From Orly, Taitz, Keyes, and dozens of other lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility - NONE were ruled on.
Not one single court either ruled for or against Obama.
Not saying a court will rule, but this is the first time an opponent on the ballot has sued.
Plus, the precedents and simple application of statutory / constitutional law say Cruz is naturalized. The only thing difficult about this case is none of the courts want to reveal it.
The Ankeny court in Indiana (in an challenge to Obama) did something that this (or any) court could do. Rule case dismissed (remedy requested, ballot adjustment, denied), then indulge in an analysis on the merits. SCOTUS did this in Marbury v. Madison. It said Marbury should win on the merits, but SCOTUS wasn't competent to hear the case based on jurisdiction.
