Law professor runs for president in order to challenge Ted Cruz’s eligibility

The Washington Post
By Jonathan H. Adler
4/9/2016

Excerpt:

Law professor Victor Williams is running for president for the purpose of challenging whether Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is a “natural born citizen” eligible to be elected president. Williams believes that “Ted ‘Canadian’ Cruz” is ineligible. He also brands Cruz as an “extremist.” In order to establish standing to press this claim, Williams filed as a candidate in the Republican primary in nine states, subsequently filing ballot eligibility challenges against Cruz in each one.

One state — New Jersey — is taking Prof. Williams’ charges seriously and has scheduled a hearing on Cruz’s eligibility for Monday morning, according to this release. Because he has filed as a competing candidate, Williams believes that he has “competitor standing” to challenge Cruz’s eligibility and, if his claim is rejected by state officials, to file suit in court.

Ted Cruz Faces Eligibility Hearing In New Jersey April 11th

RickWells.US
By Rick Wells
4/9/2016

Excerpt:

[I]Professor Victor Williams is a little-known candidate for president of the United States in 2016 whose name may soon become a household word. He is on the ballot in nine states and has chosen to use his “Competitor Candidate Standing” to potentially strike and disqualify Canadian born Ted Cruz from 8 State Ballots. Williams, an attorney and law professor, also pledges he will litigate to invalidate fraudulent elections should Ted Cruz not be disqualified.

Each filing alleges that Rafael Ted Cruz obtained ballot access by fraudulently, misrepresenting his eligibility as a Canadian-born, and not a natural born American citizen. Each charge demands that the Secretary of State provide Williams with immediate remedy for ballot fraud in specific ways.

New Jersey may be of concern for particular concern for the Canadian immigrant. On April 8, 2016 Mr. Williams posted an alert on his campaign website headlined “Ted Cruz risks primary disqualification in New Jersey resulting from charges of ballot access fraud.”

He goes on to detail that a primary ballot disqualification hearing has been scheduled by the Secretary of State for Monday, April 11 at 9:00 a.m. in Mercerville, New Jersey.

The alert states, “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.”

Cruz may not even be a naturalized US citizen as he has not provided that proof either and has been unwilling to do so. We’ll hopefully learn the truth in that regard on April 11th as well.

Law Professor Enters Presidential Race To Challenge Canadian-Born Cruz Ineligibility In 8 States

Birther Report
4/10/2016

Excerpt:

Press release via PR Newswire:

Ted Cruz Risks Primary Disqualification in New Jersey, Other Late-Primary States, Charges Professor Victor Williams

-- Ted Cruz risks primary disqualification in New Jersey resulting from charges of ballot access fraud. 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 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, 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 of further action 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...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.

Williams' website -- VictorWilliamsforPresident.com -- details the law professor/candidate's litigation strategy. It also details Williams unique policy positions on providing student loan debt relief and ending corporate stock buybacks.

From Hardscrabble Arkansas to Harvard then Three Law Degrees

Victor Williams is long-time attorney, law professor, and prolific scholar in Washington, D.C.

A first-generation college graduate from Arkansas, Williams earned a Harvard graduate degree and then three law degrees. Williams' scholarship has defended the Executive authority of the past four presidents – without regard to party.

Sickened by the corruption, dysfunction, and incompetence of the established political order, Professor Williams launched www.disruptivejustice.org in June 2014 to apply disruptive innovation theory to law and politics.

Williams is referenced as a "Republican Lawrence Lessig" (the Harvard professor who ran as a Democrat).

Williams damns the extremist, Senate-buffoonery of Ted Cruz to shut down the government, cause a public debt default, and forbid abortion for female victims of rape and incest.

Williams promises to "Put American Workers First."

Williams declares: "American workers deserve a government that works as hard as they do."

TED CRUZ NOT ON NJ BALLOT - WILL HEARING TODAY FINALLY EXPOSE HIS CON GAME?

NewsWithViews.com
By: Devvy Kidd
4/11/2016

Excerpt:

In December 2008, atorney Leo Donofrio filed a challenge in New Jsersey 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) - http://victorwilliamsforpresident.co...born-eiligible

"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.

Hearing to decide Ted Cruz’s eligibility for New Jersey ballot

The Washington Times
By Stephen Dinan
4/10/2016

Excerpts:

The New Jersey secretary of state has scheduled a hearing Monday to make Sen. Ted Cruz prove he is eligible to run for president under the Constitution, after a Washington-area law professor filed a challenge arguing his Canadian birth makes him ineligible.

Victor Williams, the man challenging Mr. Cruz, is also running as a write-in candidate for the Republican nomination in New Jersey, which he hopes gives him an extra boost as he tried to convince the state both that he has standing to challenge, and that Mr. Cruz should be disqualified.
............................................

Complicating matters is the state of affairs in New Jersey, where the election division falls under Secretary of State Kim Guadagno. She is also the lieutenant governor — sharing the ticket with Gov. Chris Christie, a former presidential candidate himself. Mr. Christie has now endorsed Donald Trump, who is Mr. Cruz’s chief rival for the GOP nomination. - (bold emphasis added)

N.J. judge hears challenges to Cruz eligibility

philly.com / The Philadelphia Enquirer
By Maddie Hanna, STAFF WRITER
4/11/2016

MERCERVILLE, N.J. - A New Jersey administrative law judge on Monday heard two challenges to GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz's eligibility to appear on the New Jersey ballot, based upon the Texas senator's birthplace in Canada.

The judge, Jeff Masin, didn't decide the challenges to Cruz's eligibility to appear on the June 7 primary ballot, but said he would issue a decision Tuesday. The decision is expected to be reviewed by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who is New Jersey's secretary of state.

One of the challenges was brought by three South Jersey citizens, and the other by a law professor who lives in Maryland and is running for president as a write-in candidate in New Jersey. Both parties argued that because Cruz was born in Canada, he is not a natural-born citizen, making him ineligible for the presidency.

Cruz's mother was born in Delaware, while his father was born in Cuba. The senator released his birth certificate in 2013.

Shalom Stone, a New Jersey attorney representing Cruz, argued that the citizens - Fernando Powers of Blackwood, Donna Ward of Mantua, and Bruce Stom of Winslow Township - and Prof. Victor Williams didn't have standing to challenge Cruz's candidacy. Stone also said the state didn't have authority to decide the question.

As for "natural-born citizen," Stone said the words in the U.S. Constitution "have meaning given to them by English common law" at the time of their adoption. He directed Masin to his brief for cases supporting Cruz's position.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently declined an appeal by a Pittsburgh man who challenged Cruz's eligibility to appear on the ballot in the April 26 primary. A Commonwealth Court judge had ruled that Cruz is a natural-born citizen.

Masin, the New Jersey judge, said the Pennsylvania decision was the only one he knew of that addressed the merits of the arguments against Cruz's eligibility. Other challenges have been dismissed on procedural grounds, Masin said.

Two of the challengers to Cruz's eligibility in New Jersey, Williams and Powers, said they supported GOP candidate Donald Trump, who has raised questions about his rival's eligibility. But Williams said he was Trump's opponent in states where he is running as a write-in candidate, including New Jersey.

NBC News Declares Ted Cruz “a Naturalized Citizen”

HLR ESSAY AUTHORS: “A NATURALIZED CITIZEN CANNOT SERVE”

The Post & Email
by Sharon Rondeau
4/12/2016

Excerpt:

(Apr. 12, 2016) — On Monday, NBC News’s Pete Williams reported on a ballot challenge heard in New Jersey by Administrative Law Judge Jeffrey Masin contending that 2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz is not eligible to the office of the president because he is not a “natural born Citizen,” as the U.S. Constitution requires.

In his article, Williams, an NBC News veteran, stated of New Jersey ballot challenger and presidential candidate Victor Williams (presumably no relation):

He claims Cruz “has fraudulently represented himself as constitutionally qualified for the office of president” and argues that Cruz, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2014, does not meet the Constitution’s requirement to be a “natural born citizen.”

Judge says Cruz can stay on N.J. primary ballot

philly.com / The Philadelphia Enquirer
By Maddie Hanna, TRENTON BUREAU
Updated 4/12/2016

Excerpt:

A New Jersey judge decided Tuesday that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz can appear on the New Jersey primary ballot, ruling against two challenges to whether the Canada-born Texas senator qualified as a "natural born citizen."

The administrative law judge, Jeff Masin, said that arguments that a person born in another country could not be a natural born citizen were "not facetious," and that the subject would "never be entirely free of doubt" without a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

But "the more persuasive legal analysis is that such a child, born of a citizen-father, citizen-mother, or both, is indeed a 'natural born Citizen' within the contemplation of the Constitution," he said in a 27-page decision.

Masin had said Monday that he expected Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, New Jersey's secretary of state, to review his decision. Guadagno is required to transmit the names of candidates to county clerks by Thursday.

Full Ruling: New Jersey Judge Advisory Opinion Rules Canadian-Born Cruz Eligible To Be President

Birther Report
4/12/2016

Excerpt:

Excerpt via NJ Administrative Law Judge Jeff Masin:

As demonstrated above and in the thoughtful examinations of the scholars whose materials are mentioned herein, it must be acknowledged that the arguments against finding a child born outside the United States to a non-diplomat or non-military citizen of the United States are not facetious and the issue can never be entirely free of doubt, at least barring a definitive ruling of the United States Supreme Court. While absolute certainty as to this issue is only available to those who actually sat in Philadelphia and themselves thought on the issue, having weighed the arguments as they are presented by those trying to understand the Framers’ intent, I CONCLUDE that the more persuasive legal analysis is that such a child, born of a citizen-father, citizen-mother, or both, is indeed a “natural born Citizen” within the contemplation of the Constitution. As such I CONCLUDE that Senator Cruz meets the Article II, Section I qualifications and is eligible to be nominated for President. His name may therefore appear on the New Jersey Republican primary ballot. [...]
