The dissent in Wong Kim Ark correctly states the law in this regard. While exposition on the matter of "natural-born" citizenship is merely dicta in both opinions, the majority opinion is based almost exclusively on misstatements of fact and dissembling about the law. It is an embarrassment to the history of American jurisprudence.
The minority opinion is just that, a minority opinion. It has no standing in the law and certainly does not supersede the majority.
While exposition on the matter of "natural-born" citizenship is merely dicta in both opinions...
Hardly dicta. The question of whether Ark was a citizen was the question before the court. The court ruled that he was a citizen from birth. AKA, a natural born citizen.
..., the majority opinion is based almost exclusively on misstatements of fact and dissembling about the law.
Complete and utter nonsense.
