In Ankeny v. Governor the justices engaged in dicta, which is not binding as legal precedent. In other words, it was the justices blowing hard about something they were dead wrong about and probably knew it when they wrote it. The case was dismissable on grounds that had nothing to do with the natural born citizen clause, but the justices decided to insert a gratuitous strike at the natural born citizen issue when they knew full well they would abuse their authority to deny any opportunity to respond with truthful evidence and testimony. Anyone with an ounce of commosense can immediately see the dicta was an absurd and ridiculouspack of lies, and they were so denounced by other legal authorities. In particular, the claim that the United States obtained its common-law from English common-law, which is an outrageous falsehood. So, anyone who tries to use Ankeny v. Governor as an authority on the natural born citizen clause is either fooling themselves or engaging in gross dishonesty.

In other words,, Ankeny v. Governor is an even more absurd miscarriage of law and justice than the Chief Justice Roberts decision to find Obamacare was not a tax. These justices should have been impeached for engaging in high crimes in that case.

If that is not a case of legal precedence can you find one that is?
