Your imaginary garbage lies directly contrary to a precedential holding of the U.S. Supreme Court.

You say that as if you think it should hold some significance as to what is true or false. In my mind it does not. It's just an appeal to the fallacy of "argumentum ad verecundiam."

They are just a group that holds power and orders people to do what they say. I see this as distinctly different from being factually correct.

My thinking derives more from science than it does from legality. In science you can actually prove something, and people's opinions, even the opinions of great authorities don't mean anything. The truth does not emanate from opinion.

The Supreme Court has been wrong and reversed itself so many times, that anyone who merely accepts what they say "ex cathedra" is naive and foolish.

Plessey v Ferguson comes to mind, and Roe v Wade more recently.

That's why you cannot cite or quote actual laws or court opinions supporting your positions.

What 1790s era law supports the claim that "natural born citizens" are anyone born on us Soil?

And I already gave you a court opinion that shows Vattel was followed, not English common law.

For that matter, Calvin's case wasn't even unanimous.

Not interested in your wackadoodle personal opinions on the law. Get it out of a court opinion or a legal text, or get it out of my sight. Win a case in court with your frivolous nonsense and get back to me.
