Yes, there is alot in Wong Kim Ark.

Have you read the Lynch v. Clark ruling from the State of New York?

I guess not. I thought it might be in this screed pro-birtherish piece I found, but it wasn’t.

Also, a state case out of Indiana, but the NBC language and reasoning is what I suspect would unfold with any court that gets it:

Mis-spoke-—saw the cite in Wong:

That all children born within the dominion of the United States of foreign parents holding no diplomatic office became citizens at the time of their birth does not appear to have been contested or doubted until more than fifty years after the adoption of the Constitution, when the matter was elaborately argued in the Court of Chancery of New York and decided upon full consideration by Vice Chancellor Sandford in favor of their citizenship. Lynch v. Clark, (1844) 1 Sandf.Ch. 583.

parsy, who wonders if Gray invented “string citations”
