Sorry, but Gray's description of Virginia Minor goes beyond Justice Waite's decision. Waite never said Minor was born of citizen parents. So the question that you dodged remains. Why do you think Gray would make a point to mention citizen parents as part of the reason this woman was a citizen of the United States if it wasn't relevant to her citizenship?? Remember that we already have a previous paragraph saying children born to citizen parents were excluded from the citizen clause and an NBC definition that consists of children born in the country to citizen parents. Do you think Gray randomly inserted this point when it was never specifically mentioned in the Minor decision?? Why would he do that if it wasn't relevant??
Strawman argument. I never said her citizen parents weren't relevant. I said he was describing her particular circumstances, not claiming that only those circumstances were valid for natural born.

Only in your bizarre reversal of what the quote actually says. Here's an example for you, can you tell the difference between:
an NBC definition that consists of children born in the country to citizen parents.
Oh? where did Gray say that was a requirement for NBC?
