I have cut & pasted, and linked to, the entire decision many times.
However, this sentence:
““The same rule was in force in all the English Colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.”
does not equal “All this says is that English common law was observed in the colonies to make persons natural-born subjects.”
Why cut and paste an entire decision when you cannot even read ONE SENTENCE?????
Let me repeat just part of the sentence, since whole sentences are beyond you: “...and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.”
Now, what is it that continued to prevail under the Constitution? That “every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject” - but if it continued to prevail UNDER the Constitution, then it means that every child born in the US of alien parents was a natural-born citizen”.
The principle that birth in the territory gave natural born status was true of natural born subjects under the colonies, and natural born citizens under the states. That is the only way the “rule in force in all the English Colonies” could have “continued to prevail under the Constitution as originally established.”
You cannot delete half the sentence to make it read as you wish. WKA made Ark a NBC, as the dissent understood, and as every citizenship decision citing it has understood. You do not have to like it, but if you continue to ignore it, you will continue to LOSE - which is all that birthers have ever done - LOSE!
Until you can show WKA doesn’t apply to Obama, every court will laugh at you - even when Obama & his lawyer refuse to show up.
But you won’t listen, so you will continue to have Obama beat you like a red-haired stepchild. Tell me, do you LIKE getting your ass whupped by Obama? Is it fun for you?
The entire decision:

Read it, and listen to how you MIGHT be able to argue it doesn’t apply to Obama.
... that NBS = NBS. That's what the Treaty of 1783 is about as was affirmed in Inglis and Shanks. If this meant what you want it to mean, why did the court not stop its decision here??? It continued on for 46 more pages.
WKA made Ark a NBC, as the dissent understood, and as every citizenship decision citing it has understood.
Wrong. Ankeny footnoted that it did NOT make Ark an NBC.
The entire decision:
... includes Part V, which cites Minor v. Happersett for the court's official definition of NBC: "all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens." Thanks again for proving me right. It's so easy, even a cavemen could do it. Rogers, are you a caveman??
