allmendrewam: Wow did you ever butcher up that quote, because the tail end didn't support your contention!

Edge919 has had it pointed out to him, at least a dozen times, that the passage from the Minor decision, which he so loves to rip out of context, doesn't support his argument if read in in context.

And yet, he keeps posting, re-posting it, and posting it again, as if it were somehow definitive proof of his position.

I don't get it, edge. Why do you do this? Why do you keep quoting the same passage, over and over again, after having been shown many times that it doesn't support your argument?

Do you just enjoy being proved wrong again and again on the same point?

“These were natives, or natural-born citizens,as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”

The language IS consistent with there being but two types of citizens, as I have maintained, either natural-born or naturalized.

Via the passage above it seems one is EITHER born a “natural-born citizen(s)” or one is born an “alien(s) or foreigner(s)”. If one is born an alien or foreigner one may be NATURALIZED as a US citizen. Thus the two types of US citizen clearly recognized by US law, natural born or naturalized.

You can be sure nine times out of ten, when someone cuts down a quote, they did NOT do so for clarity and brevity. Amusing that this isn't the posters first time down the quote mangling merry go round!

You protest way too much. Repeating a false charge over and over doesn’t magically make it true. Nothing is out of context and you’ve been shown that. Man up and admit I’m right.
