The case doesn't even use the words "natural born" one single time.

Let me acquaint you with a basic English concept referred to as a synonym. Most of us learned about them in grade school, but you must have missed all the lessons.

So "natives" and "indigenes" are supposedly an absolute, direct SYNONYM in the language of United States law for "natural born citizen?"

Do you not understand that you can't prove something by first assuming it to be true?

That's BASIC. That's about the most fundamental principle of logic out there.

I hate to break the news to you, but you're an idiot.

Still having trouble with that synonym thing? More like this argument is a pathetic straw you grasp in an effort to ward off reality.

No, of course not. Justice Waite is a complete f***ing moron.

Justice Waite: 1875

At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

Of course your NEXT argument is that he doesn't know what he's talking about outside of a Holding, or perhaps it will be "this case was not about Presidential eligibility" or some other childish dodge.

.

That's precious. The worst offender against logic presumes to give me a lesson in it. I was building TTL logic circuits and compiling machine code when I was 14 @$$hole, what were you doing?

Thanks. I'm sure you are as right about that as you are about everything else.
