Whether you think Justia removed Minor v. Happersett from its web site in 2008 or not (I don’t), that case gives no real support at all for the idea that it REQUIRES two citizen parents for a person to be a natural born citzien.

It simply stated that in the instance where a person was born on US soil and had citizen parents, there was NO DOUBT, as of the time of that case (1875) that the person was a natural born citizen.

And it did that in a total throwaway line that was completely unrelated to the case at hand.

SO even if they said anything meaningful (which they didn’t), it could not POSSIBLY have been precedent, because the comment was unsupported by any authority whatsoever and was completely unrelated to the case at hand.

That’s why courts all over the country have refused to recognize it as any kind of important precedent regarding the natural born citizenship of children born on US soil to non-citizen parents.

BECAUSE IT ISN’T.

Not in the slightest.

Well, just to be totally accurate and complete, the court did note that there were doubts as to the other’s status, and then quickly noted that it was not necessary to resolve those doubts in this case.

You can keep dragging your nonsense to Free Republic, Jeffy, but it isn’t discouraging me, or anyone else. It is after midnight here on the West Coast, and unlike you, no one is paying me to post. I’m going to bed.

But before I go I want you to know that you’re not successful in the least at frustrating true Conservatives at this site.

I’m looking forward to the day when traitors trying to destroy the Constitution are hung from light posts. Sure hope the Globalists are paying you well for the garbage you put out.
