Look, the words are the same ~ doesn’t take an activist judge to understand what “born” means.
Regarding Liberal judge's interpretation of the 14th amendment, the dispute is not regarding the word "born" it is regarding the words "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
Liberal Judges think it has no meaning whatsoever, and normal sane people know that it does.
Again, George Will and Ann Coulter explain the issue quite well.
