Most lawyers do NOT use common dictionaries for legal terms, but even there it says “native”, and includes where he receives his education. That was NOT the term used in the Constitution, nor the meaning it had attached.

But the Constitution is written in common English precisely so that the Common Man may know what the Law is.
I reject the notion that one needs a law degree to understand the Constitution.

The point is words have meanings, or at least they used to until lawyers and libs started twisting and changing them to suit their purposes...like you do.

The is no clear definition of NBC unless you look at the intent of the Founders, and that has been well documented here too many times and ways to count, though you will not acknowledge it.

WKA was a terrible precedent, just like Dred Scott and should be overturned. And you also know that the 14th has been taken and twisted to meet all kind of politically correct crap, well outside of the purpose of it.

Our Courts now look to precedent rather than what the meaning of words were at the time and what the original intent was. Ever watch a trisl and see how judges scramble for and cite precedent rather than interpret law themselves then cite it?

That how wee end up with decisions saying the Government can take your property (Kelo), decide who and who cannot own a firearm and what type and probably find that they can make you purchase health insurance...and by extension a Chevy Volt.

Maybe you'll be available for the next SCOTUS appointment, bammie would love you.

That was why I made the point it doesn't even rise to the level of NBC, that is JUST a Native Citizen and that is what it meant AT THE TIME.
