Glad you like it! When someone removed the “neither...nor” and claimed it didn’t change the meaning, it seemed appropriate.

No one removed a "neither ... nor." I diagrammed the sentence piece by piece for your benefit and showed you specifically how ignorant you were for not understanding that those two words did NOT change the main clause of the sentence, which was supported by a UNANIMOUS action. Yes, I understand you're bitter about being schooled. It happens. And the longer you cling to it, it's going to happen again and again and again. You just accused someone else of hijacking the thread, but that's exactly what you're doing by whining about something you've been schooled on.

You removed the neither ... nor and reversed the meaning of the sentence. Your words:
Gray affirmed, when he said the Supreme Court was:
.. committed to the view that all children born in the United States of citizens or subjects of foreign States were excluded from the operation of the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment ...
What the actual quote said:
That neither Mr. Justice Miller nor any of the justices who took part in the decision of The Slaughterhouse Cases understood the court to be committed to the view that all children born in the United States of citizens or subjects of foreign States were excluded from the operation of the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment is manifest from a unanimous judgment of the Court.
Try to weasel out in any way you like, but you did truncate the quote to reverse the meaning.

The facts are simple..a US citizen child of an alien father was held in confinement and deported along with her alien father.

The US citizen mother sued the government. She lost.

The Border Patrol can deport citizen children of an alien fathers and citizen mothers.

This means Obama would have been deported if he was living with Senior at Harvard.
