The dissent in WKA even recognizes that the majority opinion in WKA makes WKA a nbc and eligible to be president. All courts since WKA have taken the same legal position, that if a person is born in the US sovereign territory, you are a nbc, no matter the citizenship of the parents.

And that alone should tell you how absolutely stupid was the decision, yet here you are, telling us all that it makes perfect sense.

The 14th amendment itself is of dubious legality. Far from being a consensus of free states, it was passed with Federal Armies occupying Southern States with intimidation and threats of dire consequences to those states which refused. Passing it was in fact, a requirement for them to be relieved of the occupation troops. The congress did in fact, have a gun pointed at their head when they made them do it.

The 14th amendment, has consequently been the source of much federal mischief. It has allowed the courts to force their own personal ideology upon the states, and justified many excesses of federal power. It is the cause of Prayer being banned in schools, Intolerance of religion on public property, abortion, and many other things it was never intended to do, but was twisted into doing by the very courts you wish to worship as infallible.

No doubt you would have felt the same way regarding the "Volksgerichtshof." They would have ruled that Kristalnacht was perfectly in accordance with German law. All hail the idiot courts!

The dissent in WKA shows how stupid the birthers are in their argument regarding nbc. The dissent recognizes that under the precedent, opinion and holding in WKA, that if a person is born in the sovereign territorial limits of the US (except a child of a foreign diplomat), that person is a nbc and eligible to be President. That continues to be the rule of law to present day. The decision in Ankeny v Daniels (2008) is a good example of of the state of the law today regarding natural born citizenship.

You may not like the 14th amendment, but it will continue to be enforced, short of a constitutional amendment. That is real life and real law, not some fantasy about it being “dubious”. If you wish to change anything about the 14th Amendment, I suggest you help organize movement to amend it. That will be much more effective than what you doing now.
