So far, what I’ve heard from Justice Scalia doesn’t convince me. I like Cato’s argument better.

Again, the original meaning didn’t clearly exclude children of U.S. diplomats on foreign soil.

What about Scalia’s argument is convicing to you?

What I think isn’t the point. Neither is what you think or what the CATO Institute thinks..or Levin or Coulter.

What matters are the opinions of the Justices of the highest court in the land because that is where this matter would end up.

One of them thinks jus sanguinis is enough and another apparently thinks that jus soli may be required.

That right there should tell you this is not settled law and you cannot know for sure how this would end up..especially if Roberts is being blackmailed.
