Now *YOU* need to defend their ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson with the same degree of "the court can do no wrong" stupidity with which you have been defending the Wong Kim Ark decision.
No, I don't. I never said the Court could do no wrong. I have simply said that in this particular case, based on all of the legal and historical evidence, they got it right.
You want to move the goal post. "Ah, you have to, Plessy v. Ferguson, blah, blah, blah."
I'm sorry, but we're not talking about Plessy v. Ferguson. We're talking about the fact that your stupid birther claim is complete bullcrap.
As shown by post 167, by the entire weight of what every real early authority had to say on the matter, and by what the US Supreme Court had to say in US v Wong Kim Ark.
But by the same legal and historical evidence, they got Plessy wrong? How does that work? In Wong, they ignored the Congressional record, they ignored the Slaughterhouse cases, they ignored Minor, they ignored the war of 1812, and they flew all the way back to Monarchical/Feudal law to justify their ruling; They cited a basis of law which is completely incompatible with the principles of American Independence, and you are telling me they got this one right?
They were brilliant on Wong, but ignorant and stupid on Plessy. Got it.
