I was just going to add quickly that I don’t think the plaintiffs understood the importance of the Minor decision at the time they filed this case. They were relying too much on Vattel and on original intent from the authors of the 14th amendment. The Hoosier Hillbilly appeals court downplayed the former as if it were a random treatise on citizenship and the latter as imprecise references to 19th century Congressional debates. The whole decision is a very bad joke.

So what would your rebuttal be to Obama supporters who constantly bring Ankeny v Daniels up in arguments? They use it as their basis that Obama is eligible because the judges referred Ankeny V Daniels to Wong Kim Ark instead of Minor v Happersett.

I wonder if the judges use Justica.com for their case law these days. Apparently it had been scrubbed of all reference to Minor etal.
