Wouldn't this include Ankney and also the BC submitted by Van Irion in Case #1 in deciding case #2.
Why yes, it would include he Ankeny case. But wouldn't a decision from a higher court, like the Supreme Court, take precedent over a State Court's decision?
And as far as the limited intent of the birth certificate...well that's a whole 'nother story, isn't it.

This may be why Hatfield's appeal is DOA.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.

“But wouldn’t a decision from a higher court, like the Supreme Court, take precedent over a State Court’s decision?”

Only if the Courts agree that Minor is a precedent. And that is not cetain.

IINM,since the 1960’s, no law review article on Presidential eligiblity (Gordon, Lohman, Pryer, Medina) have cited Minor as precedent for NBC. And the Ankeny Court specifically says Minor did not decide NBC.
