Maybe these serious researchers should have looked here:

Interesting - So according to you is is no big deal that references to this case were scrubbed from a popular legal research site? (When BO was still a candidate.)

The issue is not whether Minor could be found but whether non-lawyer members of the “court of public opinion” such as journalists and ordinary citizen researchers would be triggered by subsequent citations to look for the Minor case as precedent.

It is now obvious that Minor was cited in numerous cases as SCOTUS precedent on the definition of natural born citizen rendering claims moot that Minor just discussed NBC as “obiter dictum.” It is these citations included in SCOTUS cases subsequent to Minor that the Justia conspirator removed.

As Danae said:

“The manipulation at Justia.com diluted the importance of Minor by killing the citations in Supreme Court cases spanning over 100 years. Since Google most often returns Justia.com’s version of the case being searched for as the first or second hit, Justia’s version of Supreme Court opinions are most influential in the blogosphere's forums and comments. Erasing those citations and text on the Internet literally erases the importance of Minor and its precedents to millions of Americans otherwise unlikely to ever step into physical Law Library.”
