You're not reading very well. The court didn't agree with Minor's argument on citizenship. They rejected it, not just for her, but they rejected the 14th amendment for women as a class. When it says, "it did not need this amendment to give them that position," the "them" refers to "women," not just Virginia Minor. Read and learn:
There is no doubt that women may be citizens. They are persons, and by the fourteenth amendment "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" are expressly declared to be "citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But, in our opinion, it did not need this amendment to give them that position.
I love it when the quote of the Court taking my side.

Your side argues that a native-born citizen is one who is born in the country to citizen parents??? That's great. Then you agree. Obama is not constitutionally eligble for office. Thanks for clearing that up.
