Orly Taitz "Consistent" in Claiming Ted Cruz Can't Be President for Same Reason as Obama

Since we've poked a stick at "Queen of the Birfers" Orly Taitz over the years due to her quixotic quest to have Barack Obama declared ineligible to be president (because his birthplace was not where she wills it to be), it is only fair that we point out the Rancho Santa Margarita lawyer/dentist/real estate saleslady/Putin love child is consistent when it comes to Ted Cruz. That is, she vows to file her legal funny papers against the declared Republican presidential hopeful should he become the nominee on grounds he is not a natural born U.S. citizen.
