The WKA decision IS binding.
I never argued that the decision wasn't binding.

Now to your definition and what you left off, that being the first part...

Ratio decidendi (Latin plural rationes decidendi) is a Latin phrase meaning "the reason" or "the rationale for the decision." The ratio decidendi is "[t]he point in a case which determines the judgment"[1] or "the principle which the case establishes."[2]
In other words, ratio decidendi—legal rule derived from, and consistent with, those parts of legal reasoning within a judgement on which the outcome of the case depends.

So once again you only post that which appears to prove you right.

Oh golly. I didn’t copy the ENTIRE article. Just provided a link to the rest. How evil of me...

The citizenship of WKA was the point of the case, and that on which they heard arguments. Unlike Minor, which depended on the question, “Does every citizen have the right to vote?”

What WKA wrote about NBC/NBS was NOT irrelevant to the case, but central. Not that I expect a birther to understand it, since birthers don’t actually READ anything.
