Where in Wong Kim Ark does it say his US birth to 2 Chinese-citizen parents makes him a “natural born citizen?”
You might want to consult Footnote 14 before answering.’
The sheer presumption of you amateurs never ceases to amaze. You actually think people are unaware of the footnotes? You actually think the judges who authored the opinion are unaware of the footnotes?
Again, what planet do you people live on? What color is the sky there?
I realize you start with a conclusion you want and ignore everything that doesn't support that conclusion. But courts don't do that. They present all the information available and explain the associations and reasoning that guide them to their opinion. Of course that leaves them vulnerable to the bellowing of unschooled bar louts who couldn't write a credible court opinion if their life depended on it, but no one of substance cares.
Everyone knows Wong Kim Ark was not asked to make a determination about whether the individual in question was a natural born citizen. It's not clever or insightful to brandish that point like a three-year-old with a shiny toy. You only know it because the Courts spelled it out for you. But as the cherry picker you are, you simply ignore the fact that there is clear historical and legal basis presented in the reasoning for Wong Kim Ark by which a court can conclude that being born here is sufficient to be a NBC. The Indiana court did so in a legal opinion that has not been successfully challenged. In the real world, that means something.
People in the real world laugh at courts who cover their prefabrications with nonsensicals like Footnote 14.
