A point I CONSTANTLY try to get through people's heads. Chief Justice Waite was Specifically referring to the 14th amendment when he made that statement, because it is on the basis of the 14th amendment that the suit was brought.
I.E. the 14th amendment does not create natural born citizens. But anyone who comprehends the natural law argument, already knew that.
“natural law argument”
Which is a bogus argument. Anything that is natural law cannot be argued, such as gravity. Who is a citizen is arguable and therefore not “natural law”. Hells Bells, I can get 10 people in a room arguing this subject and we’ll get 11 opinions about who is a citizen. That isn’t natural law.
