Ted Cruz - Hoisted by one's Own Petard

The original birther movement against Obama was a defensive move instigated by John McCain supporters who went off the deep end trying to explain their candidate not having been born in the United States.  That the issue continued on  its wayward course with Trump still questioning Barack Obama's legitimacy in the 2012 Presidential race now puts Ted Cruz in the cross hairs to debate a very questionable birth right to serve as President of the United States. He claims its settled law.  He is going to need a lot friends in the Senate to prove it which makes the fact that he has so many GOP enemies in the Senate priceless. Its a skirmish that could light the fuse on a party ready to explode with its contradictions.
