I remember at the time that it moved St George Tucker from being sort of "neutral" on the topic, to firmly over into the Jus Sanguinus camp.

Dream on. As I've shown you, Tucker set forth Blackstone's statement:

"The children of aliens, born here in England, are generally speaking, natural-born subjects, and entitled to all the privileges of such."
Then Tucker notes how U.S. laws are "accordant" (i.e., in agreement with Blackstone). Tucker quite clearly recognizes our law as jus soli. Though no doubt the cognitive dissonance keeps you from digesting this.

It's funny. The founders cite "natural law" as their authority, and you prattle on about "Blackstone."

I'm sure George III pointed to him when he was explaining to the colonies why they didn't have the legal authority to secede.
