What makes it a fallacy of Authority is that none of SCOTUS wrote the law, so they are only expressing opinions of opinions. Better to get it straight from the Horses mouth.

From the Constitution, Section 1

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.

and Section 2

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority

The Supreme Court is given authority to decide cases by the Constitution. You think the Founders meant a particular thing by "natural born". The Supreme Court has not agreed with you. however much you think them wrong, they have the Constitutional authority.

Too many people equate Wong Kim Ark as defining "natural born citizen" when it really doesn't.

Your opinion. Not shared by many, including the Supreme Court in Rogers v. Bellei.

This is not what pro-life people believe. They believe that rights are inherent in the existence of an unborn child.

The right to life is inherent in the existence of an unborn child. However, many who agree on the right to life also know the right to citizenship is legislated by each country.

All fine and good, but it does not however, command them to be correct.

Your argument can be summed up as "Might makes right." I disagree.

Truth is not decided by consensus. It doesn't matter if the entire planet believes something, that WILL NOT make it true. It bothers me not at all to declare the Supreme court wrong when the facts show that they are. For example, do you believe the Supreme Court is correct about Roe v Wade?

The right to life is inherent in the existence of an unborn child. However, many who agree on the right to life also know the right to citizenship is legislated by each country.

Citizenship and legal "person" status are virtually the same thing.

Do you believe Roe v Wade was a correct decision?
