Wong Kim Ark was found to be a "citizen", not a "natural born Citizen", and the Ankeny case in Indiana admits it:

Regarding this: "the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark", the state court of Indiana had stated this in the previous paragraph:

The Court held that Mr. Wong Kim Ark was a citizen [Edit: "citizen", but NOT a "natural born Citizen"] of the United States “at the time of his birth.” 14
What does footnote 14 say?
We note the fact that the Court in Wong Kim Ark did not actually pronounce the plaintiff a “natural born Citizen” using the Constitution's Article II language is immaterial.

Additionally, WKA's parents were perminantly domociled in the U.S.

Something Barry's father never was.

You already know all that, but continue your full court press in support of a half foreigner who's father was a temporary student visitor, being the Commander in Chief.

The judge wrote, “This Court recognizes that the Wong Kim Ark case was not deciding the meaning of “natural born citizen” for the purposes of determining presidential qualifications; however, this Court finds the Indiana Court’s analysis and reliance on these cases to be persuasive.”

Like every other court to look at these issues, it was persuaded by the ARGUMENT in WKA. Yes, in the absence of a formal ruling, DICTA from the Supreme Court, particularly dicta that has been followed and used repeatedly for over 100 years, IS used to guide court decisions.

As I have written to you many times in the past, birthers need to comprehend the arguments and try to answer them, instead of ignoring them and then losing case after case after case. Birthers who ignore WKA will not win in court. Period.

Not even when the other side refuses to show up...
