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 think they're betting on gullible people not actually reading the text of the case.

Speaking of reading the case, it’s funny to hear Jerome Corsi give interviews about his book where he says that his research told him that Minor v. Happersett is the leading case on the question of natural born citizenship.

It’s funny because he never mentions Minor v. Happersett in the book. Not even once.
