An originalist justice would base his decision on the meaning of the clause “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” at time the amendment was ratified, not what libs or conservatives want it to mean today. Any legal scholars here know what the meaning of that clause was at the time of ratification?

So whose is subject to the jurisdiction? You're dealing with two separate persons here. The born and the unborn.
