Your first cite...TUAN ANH NGUYEN and JOSEPH BOULAIS, PETITIONERS v. IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE word for word!
Poor you...apples and oranges.
Justice Kennedy delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case presents a question not resolved by a majority of the Court in a case before us three Terms ago. See Miller v. Albright, 523 U.S. 420 (1998). Title 8 U.S.C. § 1409 (Children born out of wedlock) governs the acquisition of United States citizenship by persons born to one United States citizen parent and one noncitizen parent when the parents are unmarried and the child is born outside of the United States or its possessions.
Snip...Boulais and Nguyens mother were not married.
Are you saying that Anne Dunham was never married?
Next post, next case.
Yes, but the XII Amendment, read together with the Electoral Vote Counting Act of 1877 does not say, "The President of the Senate, prior to signing the certification, shall contact philman_36 and, based upon philman_36's opinion, shall certify the vote, or not".
It doesn't say that at all, does it?
Neither of the plaintiffs were granted citizenship.
Scalia, and Thomas, chose to re-iterate, and emphasize, the Court's stance on non-interference with the delegated powers of Congress to define citizenship.
