How old are you?

Read it again. The leap from “natural born citizen” to “place of birth” comes from a direct quote taken from the Dred Scott decision.

The citation you keep giving us is from somebody who claimed in 1896 that the previous 3 centuries had seen automatic British or US citizenship (respectively) granted to anybody born on British or US soil. And this was just a few years after the US fought a very bloody Civil War regarding whether Blacks born on US soil could be US citizens, with Constitutional protections.

I’m sorry, but this is kind of a “duh” moment. We get done with a bloody Civil War, and then this guy claims that one of the major reason for the war had never even existed for the previous 300 years?

Uh, how old are you??? Laws and stuff applied to white people that did not apply to blacks, and slaves, and even. . . WOMEN!!! That is why they passed the 14th Amendent to make it apply to everybody.

Sooo what, now you are trying NOT to believe your eyes about what Wong Kim Ark says, by fussing about Dred Scott and slaves??? Quit playing games and just read the case. This kind of stuff is why Mark Levin and other people are telling Vattle Birthers they are stupid and not rational.
