In Minor v. Happersett the Supreme Court did not say that persons born in the U.S. of non-citizen parents were not natural born citizens, nor did the court say that they were natural born citizens. It merely acknowledged that some authorities believed that they were and also noted that other authorities had doubts about it. And the court explicitly stated that it was not their purpose to resolve those doubts one way or the other.
I bet the Vattle Birther already knew this, plus when this came out a few months ago, I asked my BFF Fabia Sheen, Esq. about it and she pointed out this case was BEFORE the Chinese guy case whenever it was, plus some other cases, sooo what this is - is that the Vattle Birthers are just lying to everybody and trying to confuse them which makes them about the same as the Obots. This is why I don’t waste much time arguing with Vattle Birthers because either they are just big liars or pretty stupid, sooo why waste any major time on them???
I think they're betting on gullible people not actually reading the text of the case.
Funny thing though, the courts seemingly had no doubts in 1847.
BARRY v. MERCEIN, 46 U.S. 103 (1847)
4. The plaintiff in error being of legeance to the crown of England, his child, though born in the United States during its father's temporary residence therein,-twenty-two months and twenty days,-notwithstanding its mother be an American citizen, is not a citizen of the United States.
I wonder where the doubts crept in?
