"A primary ballot disqualification hearing has been scheduled by the New Jersey Secretary of State, Kim Guadagno, for 9 am Monday morning in Mercerville, New Jersey.
The hearing has been called as a result of charges brought by Washington D.C. Law Professor, Victor Williams’, that claims that Ted Cruz fraudulently certified his constitutional eligibility for office to gain ballot access.
Williams demands that Cruz be disqualified from several late-primary ballots:
“Cruz committed ballot access fraud in each state when he falsely swore that he was a ‘natural born’ American citizen.”...

VICTOR WILLIAMS for PRESIDENT: A New GOP
WHY VICTOR WILLIAMS RUNS FOR PRESIDENT

IN MARCH 2016, VICTOR WILLIAMS ENTERED THE GOP PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST IN MULTIPLE LATE-PRIMARY STATES AS A "WRITE-IN" CANDIDATE. WILLIAMS THEN LODGED BALLOT DISQUALIFICATION CHARGES AGAINST TED "CANADIAN" CRUZ IN EACH STATE

Victor Williams has lodged Ballot Disqualification Charges against Ted Cruz in multiple states. New Jersey has now scheduled a disqualification hearing.

These Ballot Disqualification Charges were filed in each of the states in which Williams is a formally-registered and officially-declared "write-in" candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.

The states are California, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.

Having formally registered/declared as a GOP candidate in the sates, Williams now has "competitor candidate" legal standing to challenge Mr. Cruz -- in and out of court.

Williams thus gave litigation notice to each of the states. Failure to disqualify Mr. Cruz from the primary ballots, will lead to certain litigation. The lawsuits may be initiated ex ante or ex post the primary election dates.



Ted Cruz is Not a "Natural Born" American Citizen and He Obtained Ballot Access Fraudulently.

Ted Cruz (a/k/a Rafael Edward Cruz) acknowledges the fact that he was born in Calgary Canada and even concedes that he was a Canadian citizen all his life -- until May 2014. Cruz is thus not eligible to serve as either President or Vice-President.

The U.S. Constitution's Article II, Section 1 is explicit in listing three absolute tests required for any Candidate to qualify for the presidency:

No person except a natural born Citizen...shall be eligible to the Office of President, neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen years a Resident within the United States.

Like the 14 years residency requirement, the “natural born Citizen” requirement is a test of American soil. This natural-born soil test is required only for the nation’s highest federal office – the presidency.

Ted Cruz fails this "Jus Soli" (law of the soil) test. The basic requirement of “Jus Soli” citizenship was, and is, antithetical to any statutory conferring of citizenship on children born abroad of American parents.

Mr. Cruz, whose legal career has been based on a strict construction of, and textual faithfulness to, the U.S. Constitution, knows the truth about his ballot ineligibility.

Ted Cruz has thus fraudulently obtained ballot access in each of the states where he ran (and continues to run) for the Republican nomination.

The Republican Party must reject any possibility that Ted Cruz could be the GOP nominee for either President or Vice-President.

Cruz must be disqualified from the ballot in the remaining primary sates and his pledged-delegates must either be released or not be seated at the 2016 Cleveland Nominating Convention.

This is a central -- but not the only -- focus of Williams' campaign for the GOP nomination.

Victor Williams Enters the Republican Contest As a Write-In Candidate for Later Primaries

Victor Williams has filed (formally required by filing deadlines) pre-election “write-in” declaration/oaths for the presidential primary ballots with the election officials in the states of California, Montana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Washington.

Williams has also filed formal informational statements of “write-in” candidacy with those states that do not require filing of such formal pre-election declarations/oaths to include Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Oregon.

Additionally Candidate Williams timely applied for actual primary ballot placement in South Dakota’s June 7, 2016 primary. South Dakota does not allow “write-in” candidacies for presidential primary contests but the state does have a relatively late ballot access deadline, and a low threshold for such access.

Will South Dakota deny Williams ballot access while granting ballot placement to Ted Cruz who is by his own admission a natural born Canadian? A Disqualification Charge has been filed against Mr. Cruz in South Dakota.

Candidate Victor Williams Now Has Legal Standing to Challenge Cruz -- In and Out of Court

As a declared Candidate, formally registered to receive "write-in" votes in many of the later primary states, Victor Williams has legal standing ("competitor candidate standing") to challenge Mr. Cruz’s ballot placement with those states and standing to sue to have Mr. Cruz disqualified and removed.

This "competitor candidate standing" is much superior to the "voter standing" that has been thusfar rejected in recent challenges to Ted Cruz's ballot placement fraud.

Numerous courts have affirmed that “a candidate or his political party has standing to challenge the inclusion of an allegedly ineligible rival on the ballot, on the theory that doing so hurts the candidate’s or party’s own chances of prevailing in the election.” Hollander v. McCain, 566 F.Supp.2d 63, 68 (D.N.H.2008). '

In February 2016, a state Supreme Court ruled, quoting a federal district court, that a "write-in" candidate is judged to be a genuine opposition candidate and thus a “real” candidate regardless of any pre-election predictions as to his victory, or even any significant registry of support for the “real” candidate. Brinkmann v. Francois (Florida Supreme Court No. SC14-1899, Feb. 4, 2016).

Williams Acts Alone with No Support from, or Connection to, Any Other Campaign.

It bears emphasis that Victor Williams launches this campaign and his related effort to disqualify Ted Cruz -- alone -- with no support or connection to any other campaign.


In each of the states in which Williams is a declared candidate, Williams is now a formal opponent of Donald Trump, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz.

That is the nature of the state-by-state nomination contest.

The Williams campaign has lodged Challenges in the nine states in which Williams is a declared candidate -- California, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin -- demanding that Mr. Cruz be disqualified from the ballots.

Williams has warned the Secretary of State in each of the nine states that he is prepared to file lawsuits to effect such remedy -- based on his "competitor candidate" legal standing.

And Victor Williams is, alternatively, prepared to challenge the seating of Cruz-pledged delegates at the Cleveland Republican Convention in July.

If Cruz knew what were good for Republicans he should step down.

Though every politician is like a Kennedy since Kennedy and only wants to know what you can do for him.

Ted Cruz Not On NJ Ballot - Will Hearing
Today Finally Expose His Con Game?

By Devvy Kidd
4-12-16



In December 2008, attorney Leo Donofrio filed a challenge in New Jersey to keep a pair of con men off the ballot for presidential preference: John McCain, Barry Soetoro aka Obama. Leo was not denied because of standing. Not to rehash years of litigation, but Leo ended up petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court who hid behind their dirty black robes. The 'high' court refused to hear one of the most important legal issues of our time: presidential eligibility.

Shenanigans by clerks at the U.S. Supreme Court should have prompted an investigation by Congress, but of course, that never happened. Justice Clarence Thomas disgraced himself when he stated during a congressional subcommittee hearing regarding presidential eligibility: "We're evading that one." Everyone, including Thomas, all laughed. Ha, ha.

Over 90 lawsuits were brought to stop the criminal impostor in the White House from running for president because Barry Soetoro aka Obama and other known aliases is clearly not a natural born citizen. Despite the massive amount of legal research based on court cases and historical documents defining natural born citizen, buffoons in the media, print and electronic, as well as boob tube experts, talk show biggies and the corrupt machines called the RNC and DNC continue to distort the truth by declaring only one parent must be a U.S. citizen. Wrong. BOTH parents must be U.S. citizens at the time the child is born.

Not one of those lawsuits was ever decided on the merits of the law. All were dismissed for political expediency. At this time there's no proof Ted Cruz is even a naturalized U.S. Citizen so I ask again: Just what country does he claim citizenship under?

Several lawsuits and requests for hearings to stop Ted Cruz have already been thrown out on technical grounds or simply because of the 'we are not going to deal with this' syndrome by lower judges or election officials.

Montgomery Blair Sibley was a close friend and attorney for Deborah Jeane Palfrey aka the DC Madame silenced by suicide. In January 2012, Mongtomery announced he was running for president as a write in candidate; see history here. His goal was to try one more time to keep the lying Marxist in the White House off the ballot. The powers that be who control our elections made sure that never happened.

Now in April 2016, we have come full circle back to the State of New Jersey and a write in candidate for president by the name of Victor Williams who has quite a resumé:

"Victor Williams is a clinical assistant professor in the Lawyering Skills Program. He teaches Law and Economics and Lawyering Skills. Victor earned three law degrees: an LL.M. (specializing in Law and Economics) from George Mason University School of Law in 2005; an LL.M. from Columbia University's School of Law in 1994; and a J.D. from the University of California's Hastings College of the Law in 1990. While in law school, he was an articles editor of the Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly. Victor also served as a student editor of American Review of International Arbitration while completing his graduate law study at Columbia.

"Victor served as a federal judicial law clerk with U.S. District Court Judge W. B. Hand from 1990-1992. Victor also worked as a federal judicial extern for U.S. Court of Appeals Judge G.B. Tjoflat of the Eleventh Circuit and for U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Joseph Sneed of the Ninth Circuit. Additionally, he interned with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, working on enforcement issues at the SEC's regional office in Los Angeles. Prior to affiliating with The Columbus School of Law, Victor Williams held a tenured appointment as an associate professor of Law with the City University of New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice. At CUNY, he taught a variety of law and policy courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

"His academic writings include articles and essays published by the law journals of Michigan, William & Mary, Columbia, George Mason, Kentucky, Marquette, Seton Hall and Loyola. His practice-oriented articles and essays have been published by the Banking Law Journal, Commercial Law Journal, Administrative Law Journal, American Journal of Comparative Law, Trial, Judicature and Federal Lawyer. Additionally, Victor has published commentaries and op-eds in The American Lawyer, Christian Science Monitor, National Law Journal, Connecticut Law Tribune, Jurist.org, Legal Times, New Jersey Law Journal, Fulton County Daily Report, Miami Business Daily, and the Recorder. Victor's present research interests include law and economics, the federal appointment process, ethics, administrative law, constitutional law and intellectual property."

Williams is challenging Cruz's eligibility:

Why Ted "Canadian" Ted Cruz Is NOT Eligible to Run for President (except maybe for Prez of Goldman Sachs)

"Rafael Edward Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. But there was no need to for journalists to search for the birth certificate -- Lawyer Cruz has admitted that he is a natural-born Canadian. Few would doubt the raw intelligence of Ted Cruz. He is renowned as a Princeton man, a Harvard-trained lawyer, and U.S. Supreme Court advocate who preaches a textualist, strict-constructionist message. Nor should his raw ambition (that over-leaps itself) be denied. Behind closed doors, Mr. Cruz finagled a series of huge (undisclosed) loans from Goldman Sachs to fuel that ambition. But these facts only go to prove the nature of the ballot con that is being perpetrated by Ted Cruz.

"Indeed, Mr. Cruz knew (and knows) that he is not a “natural born" American citizen. His statements made to obtain ballot access for each state's primary (including those states where Williams is bringing challenges as a competitor candidate), were (are) nothing less than fraudulent. Some may find it kinder just to call his actions part of a "good old" fashioned Alberta long-con, eh....Ted Cruz fails this "Jus Soli" (law of the soil) test. The requirement of “Jus Soli” citizenship was, and is, antithetical to any statutory conferring of citizenship on children born abroad of American parents. And Mr. Cruz knows that he fails the test yet he continues with his fraudulent campaign."

I encourage readers to go to the link above and read Williams' full analysis which is the basis for his ballot challenge. Cruz filed and signed the required documentation on the drop dead date to appear on the ballot, but he's not on the ballot yet.

Williams discovered he could be a write in candidate in nine states. Right now it's New Jersey:

Ted Cruz Risks Immediate Primary Disqualification in New Jersey with Secretary of State Formal Hearing Scheduled

"A primary ballot disqualification hearing is scheduled by the Secretary of State for Monday, April 11 at 9:00 a.m. in Mercerville, New Jersey. Washington D.C. Law Professor Victor Williams charges that Ted Cruz fraudulently certified his constitutional eligibility for office to gain ballot access.

"Williams’ fraud charges had quick effect in New Jersey. Rather than accepting Cruz’s ballot petition when filed last week, the Secretary of State (Kim Guadagno) scheduled the unusual Administrative Law hearing for April 11. The Canadian-born Cruz must prove that he did not falsely certify his eligibility for office. Cruz’s ballot eligibility is also being challenged in California, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington."

Williams feels he can avoid the judicial hallucination called 'standing' because he is a write in candidate just like Montgomery Blair Sibley was back in 2012. We'll see if he is successful in keeping conniving liar, Ted Cruz, off the ballot in New Jersey which would cause a political earthquake like nothing we've ever seen.

For Ted Cruz to remain on the ballot is just another gigantic fraud against we the people facilitated by the gutless cowards in the Republican Party who have allowed not one constitutionally ineligible candidate to usurp the office of president, Obama, but have again allowed Ted Cruz to remain in the race stealing votes and delegates he has no legal right to during the primary process:

Cruz Outmuscles Trump in 34-Delegate Colorado Sweep - No primary, no caucus

Trump's getting trounced in Indiana - The state hasn't even voted and convention delegates are already lined up against the front-runner. What happened to the vote of we the people? Why even bother with a primary or caucus from this point on if an ineligible candidate is going to be allowed to steal delegates the way we're seeing?

State party tweeted: 'We did it. #NeverTrump'

Trump Delegates Scratched From Ballots at GOP Convention: "Ted Cruz supporters took all 13 of the delegates up for grabs at the Colorado GOP Convention on Saturday to complete a clean sweep of the state. But it was not without controversy. The Cruz camp and GOP establishment leaders strong-armed their way to a sweep by banning Trump delegates and omitting them from the ballots… and listing Cruz delegates TWICE! " See link for the rest.

If you aren't on my free email alert list, here is the last update regarding the DC Madame's John's list:

April 6, 2016

Greetings:

"As you asked me to keep you in the loop, here is the latest on the D.C. Madam's records:

"Yesterday, Chief Justice Roberts denied my Application to remove the Restraining Order which prohibits me from releasing the D.C. Madam's Escort Service Records I believe relevant to the Presidential Election. Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 22, I am now renewing that Application to Justice Thomas  a procedural second bite at the apple so to speak. I will wait upon his decision  which in the normal course should come by the middle of next week  before taking any further action regarding those Records. The Renewed Application can be found on my blog.

"I am scheduled to appear by telephone on the Alex Jones Show  Jeane Palfrey’s favorite radio show this Friday at 1:00 p.m. (Central Time. ) I have reviewed the putative D.C. Madam records released on-line and can state they are not the Records I seek to release. Instead, they appear to be those that I released publicly in 2007 and which were organized into a searchable database by the Brandeis Boys.

"Respectfully, I have sought to answer all your questions, so now I am going to ask you a few of my own: With the Wisconsin Primary now in the books and more Primaries on the horizon:

1. Will the Press begin to “press” Chief Justice Roberts as to why he denied my Application in Supreme Court Case No. 15A1016? Is he a Caesar at the Coliseum turning his thumb up or down as the whim strikes him or does he have to account-through-legal-analysis for his decision to allow my First Amendment Political Speech to be muzzled by explicitly approving the refusal of the lower courts in his administrative jurisdiction to allow me to file my Motion to Modify the Restraining Order? (I trust you know for time sensitive or urgent questions, Reporters can contact the Supreme Court Public Information Office at 202-479-3211, press 1).

2. When will the Press begin to “press” D.C. Circuit Court Chief Judge Garland as to why his Court has refused  since March 9, 2016  to address my Petition which seeks an order directing the District Court Clerk to file my Motion to Modify the Restraining Order. Notably, in Case No.: 16-3007, I requested Expedited Consideration which the Circuit Court also has refused to grant or deny creating in effect a judicial pocket veto without explanation and thus denying me the ability to appeal such a decision. (Such an inquiry can be directed to: Tracy Hauser Scarrow, (202-216-7460) Special Assistant to Chief Judge Garland).

"Needless to say, there will be more to follow." Signed, Montgomery Sibley

Law Center Issues Threat to Cruz: Quit by the 17th & Admit You’re a Fraud * Or We will Expose You as One - April 9, 2016

"The North American Law Center has issued an ultimatum to the Ted Cruz campaign: "If Ted continues on * we are going to release the files we have, two weeks from tonight, and we will bury Ted Cruz forever in American politics.

"J. B. Williams, the co-founder of The North American Law Center said on April 3, 2016, "We're talking about American citizens (who) think a guy who's Canadian-born is eligible to be a U.S. president * without any documentation whatsoever. If Ted continues on * we are going to release the files we have, two weeks from tonight, and we will bury Ted Cruz forever in American politics… If we have to stop this guy from defrauding this nation, then we are going to do that."

"Consider that the only documents we have actually been privy to are the documents that Mr. Cruz has provided, namely his birth certificate and his revocation of Canadian citizenship, which did not occur until mid-2014. That's it. In fact, according to the NALC, "…there is no evidence to suggest that the parent or parents of Ted Cruz ever filed a CRBA form with the U.S. Government in or around 1970, which is why Ted Cruz released a copy of his Canadian citizenship records and not any U.S. citizenship records."

"At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz have been denied access," Williams added. "All citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies. As a result, there remains no authentic evidence to support the claims that Ted Cruz is either a 'natural born' or 'naturalized' citizen of the United States." (Emphasis mine)

"Without any form of U.S. Citizenship documentation, and proof of Canadian citizenship at birth in 1970 and holding that legal status until May 2014 when he renounced his birth citizenship to Canada, there is no way for Ted Cruz to prove that he is either 'natural born' and eligible for the Oval Office, or 'naturalized' prior to 2012, when he sought and accepted a seat in the U.S. Senate as a legal citizen of Canada," Williams concluded."

Like the author of the piece above, I'm wondering what is it they have but we haven't seen? According to J.B. they have files they intend to release if Cruz doesn't quit the race by April 17th. From his lips to God's ears. We all know the ambitious Ted thinks he can bluff his way into the White House just like the current Manchurian Candidate did - twice. I guess we'll see on the 17th what information the North American Law Center has and if any heavies in the compromised, agenda driven media outlets, 'conservative' talk radio, FOX News Network or any of them cover this story.

There's a lot of talk about who can win the national election. We've already seen vote fraud in several states against Donald Trump that favor Ted Cruz. FOX and other media outlets on the stupid tube as well as the Internet and newspapers all say Trump cannot beat a criminal like Hillary Clinton in a general election. Funny thing though because the same was said about Ronnie Reagan in 1980. Despite Latest Media Smear Trump's Favorable Rating Rivals Reagan’s in 1980: "Back in March 1980 the establishment said the same thing about Ronald Reagan. They said he could never defeat Jimmy Carter. He was too divisive. Reagan trailed Carter by 15 points in February-March 1980."

Jimmy Carter, Democratic/Communist Party USA, was a monumental failure just like the Marxist in the White House, Barry Soetoro aka Obama. Reagan was a Republican. Election outcome: Reagan trounced Carter in a landslide taking 44 states. Of course, Reagan didn't have to deal with an opponent who has no legal right to be on any state's ballot along with the sophisticated electronic vote fraud we're seeing.

Millions of us are praying Hillary the Hun gets indicted because her and the serial adulterer she's married to have been a successful criminal enterprise for almost three decades. However, should she go up against Trump there's no question in my mind he will beat her soundly unless vote fraud carries that hag as it did Obama - twice. As vote fraud absolutely put Bush, Jr. into the White House in 2004; no question Kerry actually won Ohio.

Dishonest Ted likes to say the eligibility issue has already been settled by the courts so buzz off. Yes, Ted, it has only you choose to ignore the cases which prove you are not eligible:

4 Supreme Court Cases define "natural born citizen"

Neither the 14th Amendment nor Wong Kim Ark make one a Natural Born Citize

Ted Cruz Misrepresents the Law and His Being a Natural Born Citizen at Town Hall Meeting

I'm sure many of you saw the disgusting fake front page the Boston Globe put out over the weekend: Boston Globe rips Trump with fake front page. I have but one thing to say to the editorial board of that rag: Your proctologist called. He found your head. Now, I didn't come up with that one; the woman who used it on line remains anonymous. But, it is so spot on when it comes to fools in the media working so hard to destroy this country, their own lives and families.

Well, we're in the waiting game now. The release of Ms. Palfrey's records, what files the North American Law Center has and the outcome of Prof. Victor Williams ballot challenge hearing today in New Jersey.

TRENTON, N.J.- A New Jersey judge has ruled that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz meets the constitutional requirements to be president and may appear on the state's presidential primary ballot.

Judge Jeff Masin ruled Tuesday that a child of a citizen-father or citizen-mother is "indeed a natural born Citizen within the contemplation of the Constitution."

Cruz, who was born in Calgary, Alberta, to a Cuban father and American mother, faced challenges to being on the June 7 primary ballot from Catholic University of America law professor Victor Williams and the South Jersey Concerned Citizens Committee.

The challengers argued Cruz was a naturalized citizen because he was not born on U.S. soil.

The decision goes to Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who as secretary of state can accept, reject or modify the ruling.

Of course he did. Only in America where judges will perform all sorts of legal gymnastics to keep a Canadian citizen on the ballot for POTUS.

KeyPoint folks. This is the first time any natural born citizen case ever got heard on its merits. This opens it up for appeal and a trip to the Supreme Court to face A 4:4 tie . But in any case the dynamics of what is happening could become very interesting in the next few months. Keep your eyes open.

Let's see what Trump does with this at the convention (depending on how he is treated).

TRENTON, N.J.- A New Jersey judge has ruled that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz meets the constitutional requirements to be president and may appear on the state's presidential primary ballot.

Judge Jeff Masin ruled Tuesday that a child of a citizen-father or citizen-mother is "indeed a natural born Citizen within the contemplation of the Constitution."

Cruz, who was born in Calgary, Alberta, to a Cuban father and American mother, faced challenges to being on the June 7 primary ballot from Catholic University of America law professor Victor Williams and the South Jersey Concerned Citizens Committee.

The challengers argued Cruz was a naturalized citizen because he was not born on U.S. soil.

The decision goes to Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who as secretary of state can accept, reject or modify the ruling.

This should be today, then we have the other 6 or 7 states to go...

An open message to NJ LtGov Kim Guadagno:
+

I have read Admin Judge Masin’s decision. It is flawed. The “natural born Citizen” term in our U.S. Constitution was put there for national security reason as to who could be Pres and Commander in Chief of our military once the founding generation was gone. They knew the term meant a person with sole allegiance to the country at birth. Not just any sliver or partial allegiance such as being born a dual citizen or tri-citizen as Ted Cruz was. Ted was born with Canadian citizenship by soil, Cuban citizenship from his father, and U.S. citizenship via his mother if she had not at some point renounced that and became a Canadian citizen to register to vote up there, which she did.

How is allowing a tri-citizen at birth to be eligible to be Pres and CinC a “strong check” against foreign influence in that office, as founders and framers John Jay and George Washington intended it to be. A natural born Citizen is one born with sole allegiance and singular citizenship to the USA and only the USA by being born in the USA to parents who are both citizens (born or naturalized citizen parents but citizens) when their child was born. See my white paper on this subject: https://www.scribd.com/…/The-Who-What-When-Where-Why-and-Ho… (https://www.scribd.com/doc/300919680/The-Who-What-When-Where-Why-and-How-of-the-natural-born-Citizen-Term-in-Our-U-S-Constitution) Also see: https://www.scribd.com/…/Euler-Logic-Diagram-Shows-Logical-… (https://www.scribd.com/doc/299297748/Euler-Logic-Diagram-Shows-Logical-Relationship-of-natural-born-Citizen-Set-and-SuperSets) and https://www.scribd.com/…/Papers-Discussing-Natural-Born-Cit… (https://www.scribd.com/collections/3301209/Papers-Discussing-Natural-Born-Citizen-Meaning-to-Constitutional-Standards)

This question of eligibility MUST be addressed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Reject the recommendation decision by Judge Masin and do not allow the ineligible Ted Cruz to be remain on the NJ ballot for President. That, in addition to being the right originalist understanding and meaning defense of the Constitution and the “natural born Citizen” term, would also force this matter to the U.S. Supreme Court on an expedited basis since at that point two states, PA and NJ, would have ruled differently and SCOTUS would have to address the matter on the merits in an immediate and expedited basis.

So Cruz can't be a natural born citizen, since his American born mother was a Canadian citizen at his birth, and prior to that she was a British citizen, 1960-1967, at this time dual citizenship between the countries involved were not recognized, so to become British and then later on Canadian citizen, she had to rescind her US citizenship. This is even if you accept that a natural born citizen can be born abroad with only one parent a US citizen, which I suppose you could interpret the US constitution as, and in which case Obama would be legit (but if that is the case why go through the trouble of creating an obviously fake birth certificate?). "Born of citizens abroad" could possibly be interpreted as one of the parents abroad being US citizen, the other not, but the plural referring to all the citizens abroad and their offspring, not just of the singular child later to become US president candidate. But the facts are that neither of Cruz's parents were US citizen at his birth and neither was he. It is even doubtful he was naturalized later on, as there is no evidence visible to that effect.

I suppose the Supreme Court later will come out and say he is A OK, without much explanation, unless he threatens Hillary's presidency. Anyhow expect the same outcomes in judgement in the other 8 states that this presidential candidate is running in.

The New Jersey Effort
A primary ballot disqualification hearing was conducted by the New Jersey Administrative Law Office -- Monday, April 11 at 9:00 a.m. in Mercerville, New Jersey.

Williams traveled to New Jersey to personally prosecute the case against Cruz's fraudulent attempt to gain ballot access.
The "initial decision" on April 12 by the administrative law hearing officer/judge is not final. Williams has filed formal "Exceptions" (protest) (http://www.victorwilliamsforpresident.com/ethical-concerns-williams-protests-irregaular-appointment-of-cruz-judge) to the substance of the ruling and has raised serious ethical concerns about the special "recall" and appointment of the officer/judge.

The final decision as to whether to allow the ineligible Ted Crur on the New Jersey ballot will be made by Lt. Governor (who is also Secretary of State) Kim Guadagno.
By New Jersey statute, her decision must come by Thursday, April 14.
____________
Washington D.C. Law Professor Victor Williams charges that Ted Cruz fraudulently certified his constitutional eligibility for office to gain ballot access.

Williams demands that Cruz be disqualified from several late-primary ballots: “Cruz committed ballot access fraud in each state when he falsely swore that he was a ‘natural born’ American citizen.”

Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada and held his resulting Canadian citizenship until May 2014. Cruz is a naturalized (not natural born) American citizen.

Williams’ fraud charges had quick effect in New Jersey. Rather than accepting Cruz’s ballot petition when filed last week, when the Secretary of State (Kim Guadagno) scheduled the unusual Administrative Law hearing for April 11. The Canadian-born Cruz must prove that he did not falsely certify his eligibility for office.

Cruz’s ballot eligibility is also being challenged in California, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington.
Late-Entrant GOP Candidate Asserts “Competitor Candidate Standing” to Disqualify Cruz

Victor Williams warns he will sue if Cruz is not disqualified from New Jersey’s June 7th primary. Williams has unique litigation strategy. Williams became a late-entrant GOP presidential candidate. Now his “competitor candidate” status provides the strongest “standing” to challenge Cruz.

Attacking from Cruz’s left flank, Williams announced his presidential campaign with a Huffington Post commentary: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/victor-williams/not-eligible-to-play-top-_b_9554784.html.

Williams is registered/declared as a “write-in” candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in multiple states. Such “write-in” candidates are considered “genuine opposition” regardless of actual chances or support. Example: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

http://www.victorwilliamsforpresident.com/ethical-concerns-williams-protests-irregaular-appointment-of-cruz-judge

Citing Ethical Concerns, Williams Protests the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law's Irregular Decision to "Recall" and Specially Appoint Judge Masin in Cruz Eligibility Contest.


On April 13, 2016 Victor Williams filed an "Exception" (protest) with the New Jersey Secretary of State to respectfully but strongly disagree with the "Initial Decision" of administrative hearing officer/judge Jeff Masin.
In addition to detailing the substantive errors in Mr. Masin's determination, Williams raised serious ethical and procedural concerns regarding how the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law had "recalled" Mr. Masin in a special appointment to hear the Cruz dispute rather than follow regular order in the random appointment of an existing OAL hearing officer/judge.
The final and only real judge in the ballot disqualification matter is Lt. Governor/Secretary of State Kim Guadagno whose sworn duty is to protect the integrity of the New Jersey ballot. She will issue a ruling by Thursday, April 14, 2016. In part, the Exception that Williams filed read:

"First. Williams strongly protests the irregularity of the Office of Administrative Law’s “recall” of Jeff Masin to conduct the hearing rather than following a regular order of a random assignment of the case to a neutral officer. Mr. Masin began the hearing acknowledging that he had “been recalled” and appointed to the case because of his past experience with the natural-born citizen issue. It appears that rather than following regular order in the assignment of a neutral, objective hearing judge, the Office of Administrative Law “recalled” Mr. Masin. Any administrative economy achieved by recalling and assigning an officer because of his specific knowledge of and history with the subject/issue is of no consequence when considering the heavy costs (if only in perception) of his prejudgment. It destroys any confidence or reliability in the resulting recommendation/initial decision. To state, as some are doing, that Mr. Masin was “cherry-picked” for this case would not capture the ethical concern presented. Mr. Masin’s special appointment raises a broader concern as to the future role of the Office of Administrative Law as a component part of the Lt. Governor/Secretary of State’s internal deliberative processes in Election administration and particularly in maintaining New Jersey’s ballot integrity.

Second. It was telling that Masin also stated at the beginnings of the hearings that he had not read the parties’ briefs (which had been due and submitted for several days before the hearing); rather Mr. Masin spent the days before the hearing reading a variety of secondary sources. Mr. Masin’s incredible accomplishment in producing a 26-page, quite-detailed recommendation in a one-day time period deserves related note . It is now clear Jeff Masin had not changed his established opinions on this issue from his time overseeing a prior natural born citizen challenge in years past. It is more than just unfortunate that the Office of Administrative Law would have irregularly “recalled” Jeff Masin for this hearing in terms of fairness and the perception of objectivity. No public confidence can be had in the resulting recommendation. Nevertheless, it is Lt. Governor/Secretary of State Kim Guadagno whose ultimate duty it is to protect the integrity of the New Jersey ballot and enforce the U.S. Constitution’s clear and unambiguous eligibility requirements for candidates for the presidency.
****
Seventh. Lt. Governor/Secretary of State Kim Guadagno has the sworn duty to maintain New Jersey ballot integrity, and to protect, preserver and defend the U.S. Constitution, by not allowing the ineligible Ted Cruz who has falsely filed a Certification of Eligibility and fraudulently procured signature petitions on the June 7, 2016 primary ballot. She also has the responsibility to prevent my certain injuries as a “competitor candidate” in New Jersey and as a national candidate in having to expend funds, resources, and energies to run against the ineligible Edward Rafeal Cruz."

Objectors file exceptions after New Jersey ALJ declares Cruz eligibl (http://www.sonorannews.com/archives/2016/160413/news-objectors.html)e
TRENTON, N.J. – On Tuesday, New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Jeff Masin declared Sen. Ted Cruz, despite being born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, met the constitutional requirements to be president and could appear on the New Jersey presidential primary ballot.

http://www.sonorannews.com/archives/2016/160413/160413-images/victor-williams.jpgVictor Williams

The challenge was brought by Catholic University of America law professor Victor Williams, who is running as a write-in candidate for president in nine states, including New Jersey, and the South Jersey Concerned Citizens Committee.

After Masin issued his recommendation/initial decision, Attorney Mario Apuzzo filed exceptions of objectors Fernando Powers, Donna Ward and Bruce Stom to Masin’s initial decision with the New Jersey Department of State Elections Division.

The objectors accepted the part of Masin’s decision in which he found they had standing and that their objection did not present a political question and is therefore justiciable.

However, the objectors rejected the part of his decision dealing with the definition of an Article II natural born citizen and whether Cruz meets that definition.

http://www.sonorannews.com/archives/2016/160413/160413-images/marioapuzzo.jpgAttorney Mario Apuzzo

In his brief, Apuzzo states, “ALJ Masin has neither considered nor addressed the historical and legal evidence that objectors provided in their two briefs to the court. He does not address any of the arguments that they made in these briefs. Rather, ALJ Masin relies upon some law professors and commentators and their articles for his decision, without actually analyzing the relevant historical and legal sources cited within those articles.”

Apuzzo goes on to say the professors and commentators claim in their articles the meaning of natural born citizen isn’t clear and “therefore tell us what it ought mean.”

Arguing historical and legal sources tell us what the meaning was and if these writers want to change the meaning, Apuzzo stated, “then they should advocate for a constitutional amendment rather than provide some revisionist definition of the clause which then they ask us to adopt as the meaning of the clause.”

Apuzzo said Masin rejected the original definition of an Article II natural born citizen and simply adopted their revisionist definition.

Apuzzo cited various U.S. Supreme Court cases dating from 1875 (Minor v. Happersett) through 1998 (Miller v. Albright) “explaining that children born out of the United States by inheritance of citizenship from U.S. citizen parents could be citizens of the United States only through a naturalization Act of Congress, and that without such Act, such children would be aliens.”

Apuzzo said those cases prove the common law that defined U.S. citizenship never did incorporate English naturalization statutes as providing some different meaning to that common law, a meaning to suggest that a person born out of the United States to one or two U.S. citizen parents could ever be a natural born citizen rather than a naturalized citizen of the United States.

He accused Masin of totally ignoring those binding precedents of our U.S. Supreme Court and instead adopting a revisionist definition of natural born citizen.

Despite the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court being binding upon Masin, Apuzzo said Masin doesn’t feel as though he’s bound by them.

He also pointed out Masin confuses the fact that states may have adopted statutes from English common law with whether those same laws were adopted by the Framers as national laws.

Pointing out numerous issues with how Masin came to his conclusions, such as providing mostly his own conjecture on what John Jay meant by his famous letter to George Washington dated July 1787, Apuzzo said he “assigns to John Jay some corrupt motive, to make his own children born out of the United States natural born citizens,” while glossing over the significant change made by the Naturalization Act of 1975 in removing the language from the Naturalization Act of 1790, “shall be considered as natural citizens” and replacing it with “shall be considered as citizens of the United States.”

Apuzzo wrote, “He dismissed this elephant in the room by simply saying that the Third Congress did not tell us why they made the change. He ignores that the Third Congress made the change knowing that Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 provides that after the adoption of the Constitution, only a natural born citizen (not sufficient to be a “citizen of the United States”) was eligible to be President. ALJ Masin ignores this critical fact which dooms Cruz’s argument that he is a natural born citizen under the early naturalization Acts.”

In conclusion, Apuzzo stated, “We have demonstrated that Congress naturalized Ted Cruz with a naturalization Act. Ted Cruz is at best a naturalized “citizen” of the United States “at birth.” He is not nor can he be a “natural born citizen” of the United States. The New Jersey Secretary of State should therefore accept ALJ decision on standing and political question and reject that part that defines a natural born citizen and which finds Ted Cruz a natural born citizen under that definition. Rather, she should find, based on all the historical and legal evidence provided by objectors in their briefs, that Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen and keep his name off the New Jersey primary election ballot.”

Masin is the same administrative law judge who heard the 2012 challenge to Obama’s eligibility to be on the New Jersey primary ballot.

Apuzzo represented the plaintiffs in that case as well where oral arguments debated whether Mickey Mouse was eligible to appear on the New Jersey ballot and if Masin had a coffee mug containing an image of Obama’s birth certificate.

After all was said and done, Masin decided Obama had no obligation to prove his eligibility and ruled children born in the United States to aliens were natural born citizens.

Now Masin is somehow stretching that definition to include children born in a foreign country to at least one parent that is not a U.S. citizen to be considered natural born citizens.

New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno has the final say as to whether Cruz will remain on the ballot and may accept, modify or reject Masin’s ruling.

On Wednesday, April 13, Williams filed his own blistering exceptions to Masin’s recommendation/initial decision.

First, he strongly protested the “irregularity of the Office of Administrative Law’s ‘recall’ of Jeff Masin to conduct the hearing rather than following a regular order of a random assignment of the case to a neutral officer,” and stated Masin began the hearing “acknowledging that he had ‘been recalled’ and appointed to the case because of his past experience with the natural-born citizen issue.”

Williams went on to say, “To state, as some are doing, that Mr. Masin was ‘cherry-picked’ for this case would not capture the ethical concern presented.”

Second, Williams stated, “It was telling that Masin also stated at the beginnings of the hearings that he had not read the parties’ briefs (which had been due and submitted for several days before the hearing); rather Mr. Masin spend the days before the hearing reading a variety of secondary sources. Mr. Masin’s incredible accomplishment in producing a 26-page, quite detailed recommendation in a one-day time period deserves related note.”

Because Masin was irregularly “recalled” for this hearing, Williams stated it was more than just unfortunate “in terms of fairness and the perception of objectivity,” and said, “No public confidence can be had in the resulting recommendation.”

However, he notes it is the ultimate duty of Guadango to protect the integrity of the New Jersey ballot and “enforce the U.S. Constitution’s clear and unambiguous eligibility requirements for candidates for the presidency.”

Third, Williams raised the fact that his request for an extension of time and delay of the ALJ’s recommendation to allow him adequate time to reply to Cruz’s supplemental late-night filing of April 11 was never even addressed.

Williams also stated his strong support for the reasoning and arguments filed by Apuzzo on behalf of his objectors while separately emphasizing “in the Wong Kim Ark case, the U.S. Supreme Court was required to fully consider the differences between law of the soil vs. citizenship by parentage and the high court ruled that citizenship by place (by soil) was the governing precept in interpreting the Article II, Section I ‘natural born citizen’ requirement.”

Again, Williams argued the term “natural born citizen” was “deliberately drafted and knowingly included by the 1787 Federal Convention’s final product, sent to the States for ratification, to require all Presidents must be born on the soil. It is a simple soil test just as is the requirement for a President to have been 14 years in residence on the soil.”

Williams pointed out the well-established interpretive norm that the Constitution does not have “surplus” words – “natural” purposely modifies “born citizen.”

Although Cruz didn’t have to go through the complex naturalization process, if he actually ever went through any process, Cruz, at best, could only be a naturalized citizen, the same exact status as those 650,000 aliens a year who become citizens by more complex processes.

Williams said it was clear Masin has not changed his views on these matters. However, he added, “neither have the views of Chief Justice John Marshall changed regarding our Republic’s basic constitutional order. Since John Marshall’s opinion in Marbury v. Madison, citizens, lawyers and judges have all known that the U.S. Congress may not alter, tweak, add to or subtract from the clear and unambiguous text of the U.S. Constitution,” which may only be altered by the Article V amendment process.

Williams asserted, “Congress does not have the magical ability to convert Canadian-born Ted Cruz into an American-born Ted Cruz.”

Claiming to share Cruz’s Evangelical “born-again” faith tradition, Williams stated, “But beyond the spiritual, Ted Cruz now claims some type of ‘born again’ experience that transformed him from ‘Canadian-born’ to miraculously a ‘natural born [American] citizen.’”

He stated, “The time-line for miracles is always important: this claimed miracle only happened after he decided to run for President and to renounce his Canadian citizenship in May 2014.”

Calling Cruz out as “the very intelligent Princeton man, the Harvard trained lawyer, the Supreme Court advocate who preaches textualism, strict-constructionism,” Williams said Cruz “does not actually believe he is a ‘natural born citizen.’ Thus, the patent falsity of his New Jersey Certificate of Eligibility and the fraud inherent in the procurement of his Signature Petitions.”

Making it clear that not only does he have standing, Williams said his standing to challenge Cruz’s placement on the ballot is specially as a “competitor candidate” actively seeking the election in the state of New Jersey and in other states across the nation as a “write-in” candidate.

Last, Williams stated “Guadagno has the sworn duty to maintain New Jersey ballot integrity, and to protect, preserve and the defend the U.S. Constitution, by not allowing the ineligible Ted Cruz who has falsely filed a Certification of Eligibility and fraudulently procured signature petitions on the June 7, 2016 primary ballot.”

They claim that his mother was an American citizen, is it a lie then she renounced her American citizenship to first become a Brit then a Canadian? Anyway Tricky Dick Nixon was an American president when Tricky Dick Cruz was born, so it probably doesn't matter that his mother was a cunt.

I wonder if she interned in the White House during the Nixon presidency? There are some similarities...

There will be an appeal. As thourough as this sounds it is still missing the basic points of his father not being a US citizen and his mother renouncung her US status so that she could vote in canadia. Thus not being born by 2 natural born US citizens.

What's not to like?
She moved to Canada in 1969-70 sometime, even if she applied immediately it isn't possible she would have been granted Canadian citizen in time for Tricky Dicks birth. His father was probably American too!

POSTED ON MARCH 6, 2016 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, TED CRUZ
IS TED CRUZ NIXON’S LONG-LOST SON? [WITH COMMENT BY PAUL]
Richard Nixon was an American original. Since he left public life, I don’t think we have seen anyone like him. Until now.

Ted Cruz strikes me as the son that Richard Nixon never had. Like Nixon, he is a tireless worker and very, very smart, almost always a step ahead of his contemporaries. He shares Nixon’s straightforward patriotism and his willingness to suffer the scorn of the ill-informed and the arrogant who consider themselves his betters. And like Nixon, Cruz is able to convince millions of people to vote for him, even as he is widely disliked, including by many who know him.

Cruz shares Nixon’s virtues, but also partakes of his dark side–a thirst for the office of the presidency that goes beyond common ambition, and a propensity for dirty tricks. Cruz’s brilliance, like Nixon’s, does not always protect him against appalling lapses in judgment.

There is a physical resemblance, too: Cruz, like Nixon, seems unable to smile as others do, and his attempts in that direction sometimes prompt suspicion. He even has the nose!

Of course, Nixon and Cruz are politicians of different eras, and there are obvious differences between them. Nixon lived for foreign policy, while Cruz resembles Barack Obama in the priority he puts on transforming America domestically. And, consistent with the times, Cruz is much more a philosophical conservative. It is impossible to imagine him trying to implement a system of wage and price controls, for example.

Someone on this site–I think it was Paul–pointed out that Cruz’s strategy in the primaries is simple: not to allow anyone to get to his right on any issue. I think that is correct, hence the support he receives from the party’s most solidly conservative voters. But I wonder whether Cruz will follow Nixon in another respect. While many politicians have pursued the strategy, it is Nixon who is best known for advising Republicans to “[r]un to the right in the primary election, and then run to the center in the general election.”

Will Ted Cruz follow that advice? I don’t know. If he does, it will surprise his most ardent fans. But it will tend to confirm my sense that he is the legitimate heir, in our politics, to Richard Nixon.

PAUL ADDS: I was, in fact, the Power Liner who noted that Ted Cruz’s strategy from the day he hit Washington was never to allow anyone to get to his right on any issue. We saw this most recently on immigration, when he embraced Donald Trump’s concept of mass deportation and, unlike Trump, apparently did not allow for the possibility of legal reentry (which at least has the virtue of making a mass deportation policy coherent).

I also noted the similarity between Cruz and Nixon in this post from early December.

I share John’s doubt that Cruz, as a candidate in the general election and as president, would be a pure, 100 percent, down-the-line conservative (I’m pretty sure that Marco Rubio, of the Gang of Eight, wouldn’t be either). However, as John also notes, Cruz is a philosophical conservative. He’s probably pragmatic enough to trim around the edges. But he’s unlikely to stray too far.

John’s point about Nixon living for foreign policy is central. Nixon would make almost any concession to liberalism on domestic issues in order to maintain the power to work what he deemed his foreign policy magic.

Cruz, by contrast, is all about domestic policy of the conservative brand. He will make concessions on foreign policy — see his flirtation with Rand Paul — to advance himself. But there is no evidence that he will make major concessions on domestic policy, much less give away the store — as Nixon, with his wage-price controls and “affirmative action,” was prepared to do.

I’m not all that happy with a candidate who will “stand with Rand” on anything related to national security or foreign policy. But I’m quite confident that, as president, Cruz would lean pretty strongly towards a more traditional Republican approach.

Looks like the Lt Gov is playing along, toeing the party line

Sounds like NJ is basically saying, hey only the Supremes can decide this, so in the mean time we give him the benefit of the any doubts on his eligibility. I hope Williams can get this pushed to the SC sometime soon (so it can be met with a 4:4 tie vote and Obama whining about his choice...). PA seems to concur on giving benefit of doubt, but is firmer than NJ.

I am waiting for counter arguments.

Petition for Immediate Administrative Relief (https://citizenwells.com/2016/04/14/victor-williams-petition-for-administrative-review-april-14-2016-to-new-jersey-secretary-of-state-elections-division-nj-attorney-general-and-governor-chris-christie-relied-on-fundamentally-flawed/)


April 14, 2016

Objector/Candidate Victor Williams comes now to respectfully request any and all additional administrative or adjudicative relief that is available from the New Jersey Secretary of State Kim Guadagno in this consolidated case [AOL Docket No. 5016 (Williams) and AOL Docket No. 5018 (Powers)]. Williams asserts that the Secretary of State relied on a fundamentally flawed decision by Office of Administrative Law officer/judge Jeff Masin and that her “Final Decision” of April 13, 2016 was in serious error.


As Williams first argued in his filed exceptions (which the Secretary of State’s Final Decision states were accepted) Williams additionally asserts that the irregular appointment process by which Jeff Masin self-reported that he was “recalled” to preside over this matter seriously taints (if not voids) Jeff Masin’s April 12 decision upon which the Secretary of State relied.


Williams requests a fulsome reconsideration by the Secretary of State of her April 13, 2016 Final Decision and/or any other relief available from any New Jersey Executive branch office or officer. Williams requests a de novo review of the entire record of this consolidated proceeding including all parties objections communications, briefs, exceptions and legal memorandum as well as any and all internal AOL documents and communications. Williams requests a review of the basis for, and the possible prejudice inherent in, the Office of Administrative Law’s reported “recall” and appointment of Jeff Masin as administrative hearing judge for this consolidated case.


Additionally Objector/Candidate Victor Williams respectfully requests any and all additional administrative processes or adjudicative relief including that requested above that is available from any other New Jersey Executive branch officer or office – including from the Office of Governor Chris Christie.

Williams makes these requests in good faith seeking to immediately exhaust all possible Executive and agency branch processes for relief of the consolidated case prior to advancing this case to the New Jersey judiciary.


Respectively submitted on this 14th day of April, 2016″

Kim Guadagno was having a big who who in regards to her running for state governor the day before this ruling. If she stayed the right path it would ruin it for her, So I am sticking with the fact that she wants to be the establishment.
