1. "apparently people like you ... can be stupid enough to think a decision defines something it didn't do." Look at yourself in the mirror next time you say Minor Happersett fully defines NBC.
2. The Indiana people DID define NBC. They said the WKA court not using the EXACT TERM natural born citizen was IMMATERIAL. Because as they explained in the rest of the case, which YOU ignore, how it was the same thing as what the 14th said--born in the United States, under the jurisdiction.
You are NOT analyzing the cases and the reasoning. You are too busy analyzing the GRAMMAR and looking for stupid ways to misinterpret the cases. Why???
All you’re showing is your ignorance.
1. Minor gives a specific definition. Ankeny divines “guidance” from a case that doesn’t use that guidance to declare Wong Kim Ark to be an NBC and Ankeny admits it their own footnote. The Ankeny idiots even contradict themselves when referencing the Minor definition of NBC when they say it contemplates children of citizens and aliens and then that it leaves the question open of children of aliens. If they contemplated that scenario, then the question wasn’t left “open.” It’s just sloppy reading on the part of the Ankeny justices.
2. It wasn’t about NOT using the term natural-born citizen in WKA. Gray used NBC as it was defined by Minor. The defendant didn’t fit that definition. Ankeny’s reasoning for saying it was immaterial was that they thought it only mattered for the people elected as president. The Art II Sec I requirement is not there for the benefit of the president, but for the people to protect them from a leader with an inherent conflict of interest. Even YOU should be smart enough to understand this. Do you think the requirement is there only for the benefit of the president???
And sorry to spoil another one of your ridiculous talking points, but this is not a matter of grammar, but the entire context of Minor and WKA, which you’ve been shown in multiple citations.
