In reply to the discussion: Grayson vows to file lawsuit on Cruz citizenship [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)"Doesn't mean he'll prevail" means something else to you.
Alan Grayson may be a flaky loudmouth blowhard who disrespected the mother of his children when he humiliated her after he took up with a sleazy big pharma lobbyist who is now running for his House seat (to the enormous shock and betrayal of one of his long-time principal aides, who was counting on his help for the same purpose), but he's also an attorney.
I think he knows--perhaps even better than an anonymous person on the internet--if he has "standing."
As a Democrat, the so-called remedy you propose is not available to him on a primary ballot. He can't choose a Republican other than Cruz, because he's not in the universe of people who selects a Republican nominee for POTUS.
I say more power to him. Probably the first and only time I'll say that, too--but You Go, Alan.
A taste of their own medicine might slow their roll in future. And if not, it's still a nice bit of payback. Let them be forced to clean up messes and respond from a defensive posture, for a change.
ANYTHING that disrupts that crew of assholes is Fine With Me.
