#1 "disciplinary infractures"
Sounds like he got the 'Lawyer Beatdown' made famous by Harry Reid.

#2 Since all the lawyers (spit) in Texas are Dems (hack, spit), it's just harassment for the Cruz campaign.

#3 I wonder how much Trump is paying him to file this...

#4 Not true, AA. Most of the lawyers here are Pubs, with an occasional Dem tossed in. My dad was (dead currently),and my uncle and one of my cousins are hard core attorney Republicans.

#5 So John McCain was born in Panama with parents being US citizens making him a "natural born American". Does that not make Ted Cruz one too since his mother was a American?

#6 Not every attorney is a drunk Democrat asshole like Travis County DA Rosemary Lehmberg

#7 If you can get an American citizenship through one parent, you are "natural born". Otherwise you are "naturalized", aka become an US citizen through tests and an oath.

I see this as little more than trying to knock Cruz out and to dirty the waters to hide Trump's failings.

The dhimocrats really fear Cruz and will do anything they can to discredit him.

#8 I agree that this could be nothing more than harassment, but, I would like to see it settled once and for all.

Personally I thought that was settled in 1968 with George Romney.

#9 Surprised to hear Neutron Schwartz wasn't dead, frankly. As memory serves, he also had other bar problems related to the Agent Orange cases years ago. As appointed insurance counsel, took over a case for his client's co-defendant in a complicated trust case about 30 years ago, his office was a nightmare. Later discovered my client had committed perjury. Strongly suspected he and his client knew of the perjury, quickly settled the case. Sort of character that makes you want to take a shower if you even have him in eyesight.

#10 The problem isn't whether or not he is truly a citizen. We all know he is. It's that there are many out there who believe he isn't so they will vote for someone else. If it works out, Trump won't take him on as VP unless this is settled beforehand simply for clarity in voters' minds. It's easy to do, he should just do it.

#11 There really needs to be better definition of the law in this area. It will have to be settled by the Supreme Court, or better still, a Constitutional Amendment. Unfortunately, I don't think the courts will/can hear a case until after the fact, in this case, after the election. So it could easily take a year before Cruz could be sworn in, if he was elected. What happens during the interim? Speaker of House assumes the duties of the office?

#12 They're going to disable every candidate but Trump and then bitch about it when Trump becomes President.

It isn't just the dhimocrats that fear Cruz. The GOPe are terrified of him because he aims to break their rice bowl.
