“Incontrovertibly, in addition to naturalized citizens, after MvH and WKA there were two classes of citizens at BIRTH:

1. A2 NBC citizens born in the country of citizen parents”

Odd, then, that no court has ever noticed what you claim in incontrovertible. Perhaps that is because no court, and 99% of English speakers, read Minor the twisted way you do.

“Odd, then, that no court has ever noticed what you claim in incontrovertible.”

SCOTUS did in Minor, IMO. No state court can reverse that and expect such ruling to stand. SCOTUS in Minor said there was NO DOUBT. No subsequent SCOTUS ruling repeals that interpretation, IMO.

I see this as being like the famous “prefatory phrase” “A well-regulated Militia,...” For seventy years progressives in the legal elite told us it limited gun rights to the state militia...until it didn't with the Heller case.

Heller reestablished 2nd Amendment gun rights and SCOTUS may yet get the chance to reaffirm what I regard as the true meaning of the NBC language in Minor.

Just as with Heller and the 2A, reasonable people can sincerely disagree on what a sentence means...then we get the 5-4 SCOTUS ruling.
