“The court said it 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” ...”

Edge, as I have pointed out to you before, you edit that remark to make it mean the OPPOSITE of what they actually said. That makes you a liar.

Here is the quote, including the part you delete:

“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...”

Edge, you really need to stop LYING about what the court wrote...

It does NOT mean the opposite. The only person who is lying is you. 18 Supreme Court justices agreed on the definition of natural-born citizen: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The court said the 14th amendment does NOT say who shall be natural-born citizens. This statement therefore EXCLUDES children born in the country of citizen parents from the operation of the first sentence of the 14th amendment. It means EXACTLY what I said. Learn it. Understand it. Comprehend it. And then, quit telling lies to Freepers.
