Yeah, yeah, yeah……..you keep mentioning Lynch…. Lynch has been debunked already
Lynch debunked? Yeah, right. Not overturned. Not challenged in court. Just ‘debunked’ - by a guy who rejects the conclusions of Lynch without addressing the legal argument.
Lynch made it clear that NBC = NBS, and thus the meaning of NBS carried over into NBC. Natural born citizen wasn’t a phrase made up for the Constitution. It was already being used, with its meaning identical to NBS.
Collins doesn’t have to like it, but the phrase the Founders put into the Constitution had a legal meaning, and it had one that the ratifying states knew as matching the English NBS.
And some years after the Collins article was written, the US Supreme Court agreed with Lynch, not Collins. Not surprising, since at no time did the US adopt Collin’s belief that citizenship follows paternity.
