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

Posted on 11/26/2015 6:34:01 AM PST by Isara

...

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.

If we say anchor babies, we’re racist. At least he’s acknowledging they exist.

...and no one budged or winded or winched at..(Obama)

Because the Republican puppetmasters were all about "what's in it for them". FWIW, what baffled me (and still does) is there is not a procedure to vet for eligibility anyone who runs for President.

It's a reason why Cruz should be patient and wait four years. In that time, he could get his eligibility legally established, and in the process set up a procedure so we never get an ineligible president again.

sort of frightening, but spot on.

they have his vote if they need it, probably due to his gay stuff.

and the other 4 libs will simply see it as payback for 2000....not only payback for Gore, but b/c Cruz was deeply involved in that lawsuit.

97% of folks in Florida hate this FOOL.
But 51% of the people in his district love him...

and of course the gerrymandering of his district caused his return....and dumped the patriot Colonel West

They actually ignored Obama's citizenship issue and went after McCain for being born in Panama.

Grayson should be ordered to pass a psychiatric test before he can file a complaint.

Actually the nobama Birth Cert thing was to do with being born outside USA to an underage mother not qualified by law (at the time) to pass on NBC.

That is not true, zero birth certificate was a big deal. He has to produce two in fact. A short form and a long form, many claimed the long form was a fake and Sheriff Arpaio launched an investigation that continues to this day.

constitutional law only works when the preponderance of SC justices believe in and follow it
