Sure he does. Again, it's there as CLEAR as CLEAR can be:

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that.”

Justice Gray turned to Blackstone to ascertain the meaning of "Natural Born Subject," did he not?


However, I have to ask ...

What was Justice Gray ruling on, anyway?

Does Wong Kim Ark even apply?

Was Wong Kim Ark running for President?

And was Justice Gray ruling upon the definition of “Natural Born Citizen,” ESPECIALLY in the context of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5?

... just trying to be nice and offer you an Exit Door, Non-Seq.

I tried to warn you about the Blackstone. When are you going to learn to (Ask Parsy before you leap!)

parsy, who is groaning again.

More like the 14th Amendment.

No need to. I'm just sitting back and watching you foam at the mouth. Most amusing.
