This is an outright falsehood. Nothing in what you quoted says anything at all about the NBC clause being interchangeable with the 14th amendment. It says the opposite. Why do you have so much trouble telling the truth?? In fact it's so dishonest, you have to insert your own words to get the quote to say what you want. What you call the "previous discussion on the NBC clause" was that NBCs were excluded from the birth clause, as was manifest from a unanimous decision which we all know was Minor v. Happersett. The court at this point already confirmed Virginia Minor was HELD to be a citizen by virtue of birth in the country to citizen parents. If the 14th amendment was interchangeable with the NBC clause, then why did Gray not say Minor was a citizen via the 14th amendment??
“It says the opposite. Why do you have so much trouble telling the truth?”
Why do you and other birthers have such a hard time with English?
The ruling says the 14th uses wording that excludes from citizenship the exact same people who were already excluded under the NBC clause “by the law of England and by our own law from the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America”.
But then, they had already said that “by the law of England and by our own law from the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America”, NBC included the children of aliens domiciled here in amity with the government.
Birthers complain that all the judges are corrupt, but there is an alternate explanation - that birthers are simply wrong about the Founder’s intent.
Maybe, just maybe, life isn’t a giant conspiracy...
