Well, we shall soon find out the ruling and hopefully this will once and for all put things to rest.

Cruz 'birther' case to be heard by NY Supreme Court

 Thursday, March 03, 2016 06:54AM
NEW YORK, NY (KTRK) --
A New York judge is set to hear a case challenging Ted Cruz's eligibility to be president.

New York State Supreme Court Justice David Weinstein will hear the case brought by two men, William Gallo and Barry Korman.

The New York Board of Elections is defending against the suit.

The controversy began when Republican rival Donald J. Trump cast doubt about Cruz's eligibility to run, questioning his birth in Canada.

Individual cases have been rejected in several states.

Cruz was born in Canada to an American-born mother. Legal scholars argue this makes him a 'natural-born citizen,' which is a requirement for any person seeking the presidency.

By the definition I was taught while growing up, he does NOT qualify. Nor did George Romney, born in Mexico.

But Romney dropped out before it got to the point of his eligibility.

Who are William Gallo and Barry Korman?

From what I've seen of similar cases before - they've been dropped because the person suing doesn't have "standing".

No, Cruz is definitely not an anchor baby. His mother is a U.S. citizen who was born in the United States.  Rubio on the other hand is a classic example; of the two unmentionable words; both of his parents were not citizens, but he was born on U.S. soil.

Good, I hope we can finally get a reading on this and put it to bed.
Nothing against Cruz, just want it settled.
