Dude.... woah. Talk about misinterpreting a SCOTUS case...

Virgina Minor attempted to use the 14th Amendment to establish her citizenship and rights to vote. The court refused to allow her to use the 14th, because her citizenship status was that of a Natural Born Citizen having been born in the United States to two parents who were it’s citizens. Therefore the 14th Amendment did NOT apply to her. It only applied to those who needed it to establish their CITIZENSHIP. Because she was a Natural Born Citizen, she could not use it.

This case, in making the distinction between citizenship and Natural Born Citizenship HAD to specifically define what an NBC was, and so the SCOTUS DID, because it was necessary in the justification of the case itself - and we see that in the Holding in the case. Go read the WHOLE case dude. Stop just reading bits and pieces your buddies forward to you in order to get you to erroneously support after-birther baloney. It is a DESPERATE attempt of the establishment (which includes establishment democrats AND republicans) who WANT the constitution out of their way.

STOP BEING A TOOL DUDE.

It does declare she was a NBC. It also states it doesn’t have to rule whether people born in the USA to non-citizen parents are NOT NBCs, because even if their argument was valid (which it doesn’t concede), she would not fall into that catagory anyway. It does NOT rule that people born here from non0-citizen parents are not NBCs, it just says that argument is moot.

If any one Scotus justice thought your argument had any validity, they could have agreed to hear any of the lawsuits on the issue. Not one of them did, not Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and certainly not Chief Justice Roberts who swore Obama in. They didn’t because the argument is bunk.

You are free to believe any crackpot legal theories you want. But let me know when you win a case, and I’ll happily eat my words. But quit trying to pass off your pronouncments about who is a Natural Born Citizen as legal fact, because it’s just not.
