Sorry. I didn't realize you were profoundly challenged. Have you NOT read the actual FIRST paragraph?? Here:
The question is presented in this case, whether, since the adoption of the fourteenth amendment, a woman, who is a citizen of the United States and of the State of Missouri, is a voter in that State, notwithstanding the provision of the constitution and laws of the State, which confine the right of suffrage to men alone.
Minor's citizenship is PART of the question. Citizenship comes BEFORE the right of suffrage wihin the "question." The SECOND paragraph presents Minor's argument:
The argument is, that as a woman, born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, is a citizen of the United States and of the State in which she resides, she has the right of suffrage as one of the privileges and immunities of her citizenship, which the State cannot by its laws or constitution abridge.
The citizenship question is covered in the next 12 paragraphs. I've shown you specifically how citizenship was the No. 2 bullet point in the syllabus. Citizenship is also No. 1 in the syllabus as well.
1. The word "citizen" is often used to convey the idea of membership in a nation.
Further, the terms citizen and citizenship are used in the next rest of the bullet points in the syllabus. The opinion of the court wraps things up nicely in the third-to-last paragraph:
Certainly, if the courts can consider any question settled, this is one. For nearly ninety years the people have acted upon the idea that the Constitution, when it conferred citizenship, did not necessarily confer the right of suffrage.
For the court to make this appraisal, it had to determine when the Constitution conferred citizenship, which it did by defining natural-born citizens: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. Anyone else who was a citizen was made so through naturalization.
You complain that Scotus ignores Minor in the Rogers citizenship case, when if understood legal precedent and the definition of dicta it would be obvious to you why Minor was not cited.
The Minor definition IS legal precedent and it has been cited as such in the Wong Kim Ark decision. The court in that case determined that the Minor decision excluded NBCs from the citizen clause of the 14th amendment. It acknowledged the definition of natural-born citizen comes from OUTSIDE of the Constitution. So-called "native-born citizenship" is an invention OF the Constitution, so the court, using the precedent of Minor made a distinction between two classes of birth citizenship. Further, the court acknowledged specifically that the Minor decision recognized citizenship on the basis of BOTH jus soli and jus sanguinis criteria. If that was NOT controlling precedent, there was NO need to say anything about citizen parents. Wong Kim Ark was NOT born to citizen parents. The SCOTUS could NOT declare him to be a natural-born citizen, and IN FACT, the court did not do so. In its dicta, the last time that the term "natural-born citizen" is used is when the definition is cited from Minor.
You realize that any attorney who cites Minor regarding a citizenship issue in a case automatically loses the case and the judge goes back to his chambers and breaks out ROTFLOL.
Nonsense. Let's see your proof of this. Your own example shows otherwise.
Rogers is not the only citizenship case that ignores Minor, every other case in the last century does the same.
Are you really this stupid?? Rogers didn't ignore Minor. It was cited. It did ignore part of the Minor decision. The question is whether that was on purpose or out of ignorance. That part that was ignored just happens to be the same part that was quoted verbatim in Wong Kim Ark and that the court was compelled to abide.
It is obvious from your post that you cannot find a single natural born citizen case in the last century that cites Minor.
Sorry, but you keep making yourself look more and more stupid. Minor was cited in the case you mentioned. Plus the point of this thread is that Obots and apologists cited a couple of cases that they thought supported their misunderstanding of what NBC means. I've pointed out that these cases do NOT support their misinterpretation beyond the acceptance of a face value claim. The actions of the court belie the claim of natural-born citizenship.
BTW, a syllabus to a SCOTUS case is NOT part of the court's opinion and is never cited as authority.
This would mean something had I not cited several paragraphs directly from the decision. I noticed you've failed to address any one of those citation, and have resorted to fallacies and ad hominem nonsense. You make this too easy for me. Thanks for conceding the point.
You Rogers. V. Bellei as evidence that Minor was cited in a citizenship case. Did you think I was not aware of that case? Minor is cited in Rogers, only it is cited in the dissent. That means it is part of the losing argument in the case. You appear to be a committed birther, so I am sure you are familiar with the concept of losing. BTW, in Rogers, WKA is approvingly cited in the majority opinion as one of the basis for its holding and ruling. Not surprisingly, the case you use in your post is another example that shows that the courts cite WKA when deciding on and ruling citizenship and particularly natural born citizenship rather than Minor.
You still cannot cite a case in the past 100 years that cites Minor in it's opinion, decision and holding regarding natural born citizenship. It is obvious that there is not a single judge, when presented with this issue in the past century who agrees with your convoluted and bogus theory, yet WKA has been approvingly cited thousands of times by all courts addressing the issue. Can you show me a single citizenship case that approvingly cites and uses Minor as a basis for it's ruling using the dicta language you keep parroting. Why have the courts for the past century been citing and quoting WKA instead of Minor when ruling on nbc. Could it be that not a single judge or court considers Minor to have any precedential value when it comes to the issue of nbc? I see another massive birther conspiracy on the horizon. LOL
