Only somebody grasping at straws would even bring it up.

Wong Kim Ark is mentioned no less than EIGHT times in the article.

So what was your point again?

I believe your words were, “It gets me when they try to pin everything on the Wong Ark case.” It “gets” me too. (or “gits,” the way I say it)

My non-lawyer view is to regard Ark as a case concerning CITIZENSHIP....not NBC.

I don’t think much of Minor as authority either. That case had to do with women’s suffrage and the citizenship discussion was peripheral to the main issue.

In fact, nobody has shown me any SCOTUS case in which the NBC issue was dealt with directly and unambiguously.

(MamaT, I hope I’m being coherent today...the handling -—or non-handling-—of the citizenship issue has me feeling mighty foul today. In fact, everything connected to Obama makes me feel that way.)
