The House Judiciary Chair provides legal analysis with citations to prior legal authorities. Bingham is up giving a floor speech and doesn't reference anything. The latter is apt to be less precise. (And Bingham can still easily be read harmoniously with Howard, Trumbull, Wilson and the others in the Congress who clearly subscribe to the jus soli view.
You just have to claim Bingham has the better understanding because he's all you have left to argue regarding the 39th Congress.
Oh, btw, given the whole of the 39th Congress was so clearly on the side of jus soli their expressions of "existing law," your point about how Horace Gray supposedly ignored the legislative history to the 39th Congress debates on citizenship is simply, flat-out WRONG! (Crash! Another of your pet theories that goes down in flames).
because i'm not going to read very deep into them.
I know from past interactions that you're not a deep reader or a deep thinker. (Have you read Wong Kim Ark yet?). I know with you to spoon-feed it to you in small portions.
Blah blah blah. If they cited Rawle, they got it wrong.
