They seemed to imply it. Their comments on that point, however, were dicta, since that wasn't Wong Kim Ark's situation.
I'm not going to go through the case again and look stuff up for you. You obviously need to read the case yourself.
The incredible thing is how grown people (at least I presume you are grown) can vehemently argue claims that simply have no basis in history or law. And insist month after month, year after year, that their fantasies are true, even though not a single court or any significant legal authority - INCLUDING CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS WHO PROMOTE THE CONSTITUTION - agrees with them.
It is mind boggling, really. Ah, but birthers with their baseless theories are "experts," and everyone else - legal experts who were direct friends of the Founders and US Supreme Court Justices included - "don't know what they're talking about."
No they didn't. I just gave you TWO quotes from the dissent showing that it AGREED that the children of resident aliens could be citizens. If it was objecting to the majority, then it wouldn't be agreeing that children of foreigners could be citizens.

You need to take your own advice. I've already read the case and know that at no time does the majority ruling ever say that children born in the country of foreigners can be eligible for the office of president or anything that even comes close to this idea.

Focus, jeffy, the issue isn't about "conservative think tanks."

jeffy, I've given direct quotes from the Supreme Court that directly support definitions of natural-born citizen AND 14th amendment citizenship that excludes Obama from both claims. Whining about so-called "birthers" won't change these facts. Obama is not and cannot be a natural-born citizen under these definitions.
