LOL!!
This make you fill your panties, mister?
Before determining whether she had a right to vote or not, the Justices had to determine if she was a citizen.
They did determine that Virginia Minor was a natural born citizen as she was born in the U.S.A. of citizen parents. So her attempt at using the 14th Amendment was in error.
SCOTUS determined that the U.S. Constitution does not give the right to vote to anyone - man or woman - but they certainly provided a definition of natural born citizen.
AND IT DOES SET A LEGAL PRECEDENCE AS IT WAS IN THE SYLLABUS!
I must conclude birthers are too stupid to read.
OF COURSE someone born in the US of citizen parents is a citizen.
HOWEVER, Minor did NOT determine that ONLY those born of citizen parents are NBC. Instead, they say there is doubt, with some saying that those born of alien parents are also NBC, and that they (the court) has no reason to determine if that is true.
Psst. Next time you decide to play lawyer, you ought to know that the word is “PRECEDENT” not “PRECEDENCE”. Of course I have to assume that you do not have any legal training, otherwise you would understand that in the first paragraph of the opinion the Court states that the ONLY issue it is deciding is whether the female plaintiff has a right to vote.
“The question is presented in this case whether, since the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, a woman who is a citizen of the United States and of the State of Missouri is a voter in that state notwithstanding the provision of the constitution and laws of the state which confine the right of suffrage to men alone. We might, perhaps, decide the case upon other grounds, but this question is fairly made. From the opinion, we find that it was the only one decided in the court below, and it is the only one which has been argued here. The case was undoubtedly brought to this Court for the sole purpose of having that question decided by us, and in view of the evident propriety there is of having it settled, so far as it can be by such a decision, we have concluded to waive all other considerations and proceed at once to its determination.”
Nonsense. Had there ever been the slightest doubt as to Minor's citizenship she never would have had standing to bring the case in the first place. The mere fact that MvH reached the USSC at all is compelling prima facie argument that Minor's citizenship was not being questioned and did not need to be "determined".
Waite in unequivocal terms makes clear that the only question before the Court, and the only question the court was determining, was whether the 14th amendment gave women the right to vote. No question of Minor's citizenship was being asked of the Court, nor was the Court answering any such question. So said Waite.
So her attempt at using the 14th Amendment was in error.
Sorry, where exactly did the Court say Minor was in error?
