Wrong again!

Wong Kim Ark won, he did not lose his case!

BTW, a Treaty on Citizenship, with another Country, would be the Law of the Land. The Constitution can be altered by Treaty, in many cases.

(Obama knows this, and this is why Obama and Holder wanted a Treaty with Mexico, to restrict gun rights!)

Really, Wong Kim Ark won?!

Um, I thought the fact that my post stated the opposite of the actual result might have clued you in to something important. Specifically, the fact that my post was dripping with sarcasm.

BTW, a Treaty on Citizenship, with another Country, would be the Law of the Land. The Constitution can be altered by Treaty, in many cases.

There was a treaty between the US and China. And it did prohibit the children of Chinese nationals from becoming US citizens. But the Supreme Court didn't follow your script in that case, did it? It ignored that treaty. It ignored the statutes that prohibited the children of Chinese nationals from becoming citizens.

Why would that be, if what you say is true, that statutes trump everything?
