I'm not presuming anything, either, in this thing. I'd agree that Malihi's opinion is flawed, relying as it does on Arkeny, which holds 14th Amendment citizenship to be the pricise equivalent of "natural born" citizenship. Furthermore, the judge in Arkeny arrived at his fallacious conclusion by citing Wong Kim Ark, which doesn't address the Article II "Natural Born Citizen" clause at all.

Did someone pressure Malihi to write the judgment that he did? Could be, but I would think the people who might have done so had no connection to Iran.

I think the people who might have pressured Malihi have connections that are much further west.
