Alan Grayson Threatens Lawsuit on Citizenship Grounds if Ted Cruz Is the GOP Nominee
Breitbart ^ | 25 Nov 2015 | Jeff Poor

...

While discussing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Grayson told Colmes he didn’t view Cruz as a natural-born citizen and would challenge his candidacy with a lawsuit if he were selected by GOP voters to be the party’s presidential nominee.

Partial transcript as follow (courtesy Fox News Radio):

....

GRAYSON: It's resolved itself into this weird reality show. It's not "The Biggest Loser" that they're choosing, it's "The Biggest Bigot."

COLMES: That's very interesting, are they all bigots?

GRAYSON: Show me one who represents the exception here. In a sense I guess Cruz is not technically that way, because technically he's not even an America.

COLMES: Well, his mother was born here, so I guess like Obama, though it's interesting to me the people who had a problem with Obama, though it's interesting to me that the people who had a problem with Obama's birth certificate don't have a problem with Ted Cruz who literally was born in another country and renounced his Canadian citizenry.

GRAYSON: I don't know … the Constitution says natural-born Americans, so now we're counting Canadians as natural born Americans? How does that work? I'm waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying that he's unqualified for the job because he's ineligible.

...

COLMES: Now I wonder, does he qualify because of having an American mother can considered an American citizen and in fact he renounced his Canadian citizenship to be an American citizen, but you’re talking about American birth, but I believe if that’s one of you parents —

GRAYSON: Look, even the anchor babies are actually born here. He doesn’t even meet that qualification.

We threaten to do this to Obama 8 years ago, and the media calls us racist. They do it to Cruz, who is arguably more pedigreed than the Hawaiian hoax, and the media gloms on like gum to your shoe.

Is this the Democrat Rep from Florida Grayson? Seems to me if he wanted to be inspecting credentials and what not, he’d be looking into Resident Obama Hussein.

Another childish leftwing extremist tantrum. It smells like Grayson needs his Huggie changed.

Allen is bigger FOOL than I thought. I don't think he's an American born citizen. 97% of folks in Florida hate this FOOL.

Alan Grayson is certifiably insane. He has proven it on numerous occasions.

I guess after a time, the hot air becomes so voluminous that it has to blow to relieve the pressure on his brain.

Consider the source. Coming from Grayson, fed a leading question from Colmes, what could we expect?

If Cadaver Colmes is the best venue he can find to bleat, then he’s not doing very well.

The Wife Beater like the thousands of other Americans who filed cases in state and federal court to oppose B. Hussein Obama’s eligibility will not have STANDING...

Exit question: What does Grayson have against latinos?

I bet that someone questioning the natural born status of Cruz and Rubio if one of them is nominated will be found by the court to have standing

Alan Grayson is a self-loathing bigot who hates natural born U.S. citizens.

Only a few demoKKKrats did originally, but then were told to get back in line for the better of the party.

Hundreds of cases in state and federal courts were all dismissed for lack of standing.

I think it’s pretty much been established that if your mother is American you can be born on Mars and your still a “natural born” citizen. This whole birth cert thing on Obama has not been about where, it’s about who is the daddy they are hiding. Hint: Frank Marshal Davis.

The terminology 8 years ago was “lack of standing” to bring the birther lawsuits.
