Look, you really don’t understand the Supreme Court if you can’t comprehend something was going on in that Wong Kim Ark Decision. Gray NEEDED Arthur to be a citizen. There may be other explanations for one of the most incompetent rulings ever handed down but Arthur’s citizenship at stake certainly fills the bill.
The statement about Minor is describing her situation. It is not a holding that the only definition of an NBC is jus soli and Jus sanguinis.
Get a grip on the reality of Wong Kim Ark and start to think about WHY they totally ignored evidence that would have shown the intent of Congress in the language of the 14th amendment and WHY did they twist it around to try to get around Elk? Why was there so much convoluted nonsense just to make Ark a citizen????????
There was a high intrigue in that decision. Were they paid off or was something else at stake???
This is the reason I don’t discuss Wong Kim Ark . People like you haven’t even BEGUN to think about what was really taking place in that decision.
Read the statement again. It includes BOTH jus soli and jus sanguinis criteria. Why did Gray included jus sanguinis when, as YOU adamantly pointed out, it was NEVER described as her situation in the actual Minor decision?? What's his reasoning?? Think, chick, think.
