You know, the statement “At some point, a court case will come before the Supreme Court...” makes it sound like the 14th Amendment hasn’t been before the Supreme Court already. In fact, it went before the Supreme Court in 1898 (US vs. Wong Kim Ark). The Court ruled that a child born in the United States was a citizen, regardless of the nationality of his or her parents. That’s been the law in this country for the last 117 years.
Since the statements of Senators Howard and Trumball are in the congressional record, I think that Congress was wrong not to impeach and remove from the bench the activist justices who essentially rewrote both Section 1 of the 14th Amendment and the congressional record to establish anchor baby citizenship from the bench.
Thomas Jefferson had put it this way …
"The true key for the construction of everything doubtful in a law is the intention of the law-makers. This is most safely gathered from the words, but may be sought also in extraneous circumstances provided they do not contradict the express words of the law." --Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1808.
If you had ever read the Wong Kim Ark case, you would know that it had nothing whatsoever to do with children born in the US to parents who were here illegally, and therefore is not precedent. You also ignore previous precedent in support of the actual intent and plain meaning of the 14th amendment.
The Wong Kim Ark case did extend birthright citizenship to children of foreigners who are legally domiciled in the United States (as were the parents of Wong Kim Ark), but anyone in the United States contrary to law cannot establish a legal domicile here.
You’re going to have to try again, and good luck to you; there IS NO case on point.
Here’s the perfect opportunity for you to educate yourself:

“Team Cuda” is a troll.
Review its posting history (http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:teamcuda/index?brevity=full;tab=comments) to verify:
** Anchor babies are good!
** Homosexuals are A-OK! Especially in the Boy Scouts!
** Wind farms are great!
** Planned Parenthood babykilling is OK, and it’s deceitful and immoral to catch them in the act with undercover videos!
What you WON’T find in “Team Cuda”’s posting history is support of any conservative position whatsoever.
I pray its days here are numbered. We don’t need this disruptive crap.
