You spend to much time cogitating on ridiculous things

“There is a SCOTUS case involving a girl born in the US that defines NBC”

Why then did the Supreme Court have to rule that anchor babies were citizens, and if they are not natural born then that contradicts the headline in this article.

No it doesn't. The Supreme court has never touched a "natural born citizen" case. In the case of Minor V Happersett, they talk about "natural born citizen" only to note there are different opinions about what makes one, but they said it wasn't necessary to decide that point because the woman was clearly a citizen by either criteria used.
