Reading the entire Ankeny decision is obvious that the Indiana court used the precedent, language and guidance of WKA when they ruled that Obama is a nbc and eligible to be POTUS. They specifically did not use Minor as precedent for it's ruling. Like all conservative legal scholars such as Mark Levin or Ted Olson, the Indiana court was guided by WKA and it's progeny, which is voluminous unlike Minor.

You don't get it. Nothing in WKA set a precedent for anyone being a natural-born citizen just solely (pun intended) on jus soli. Gray affirmed that NBC = born in the country to parents who were its citizens, as HE cited it from Minor. The Hoosier Hillbilies argue that Minor only contemplated when BOTH parents were citizens or aliens, but somehow simulataneouly left open the question when both parents were aliens, but no, that the 14th doesn't say who should be natural-born citizens, yet somehow the guidance of WKA NOT using the 14th to make anyone a NBC citizen, which they admit Wong Kim Ark was never declared a natural-born citizen, yet that is somehow immaterial because it only affects the 44 people who were president (and somehow DOESN'T (?) affect other candidates, the voting public, the general public or anyone affected by the Constitution. These guys even contradicted themselves in saying that the plaintiffs argued Obama was NOT born in Hawaii and then said they DIDN'T argue that Obama was NOT born in the U.S. These goofballs couldn't keep anything straight.

All we need is the clear and plain language from BOTH Minor and WKA: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. These are the natives, or natural born citizens. Period. There's no other way to interpret that.
