You can keep quoting dicta from the Wong decision till the cows come home. That statement of Justice Gray is belied by subsequent and current U.S. law and real life example:

And you can keep saying that the exact same court is only correct when it agrees with you, but wrong when it doesn't. I have no interest in your inconsistent and subjectively biased opinion on the topic. You are intellectually dishonest, even to yourself I think.

I know the difference between obiter dictum and the holding in a Supreme Court decision.

I find it highly offensive that anyone would try to deny natural born citizenship status to the children born abroad of U.S. military personnel, risking their very lives outside of the United States, just because someone else doesn’t like Obama or Cruz being eligible. Anyone who acquires a “Consular Report of Birth Abroad” becomes a natural born citizen and needs no naturalization.

I have on my side of the issue 117 years worth of subsequent court rulings. If you can share with us any examples of persons who were born outside of the United States to U.S. citizen parents who were denied natural born citizen/United States Citizen At Birth status, I would love to hear about them.

Here are the rules that are used to determine exactly who qualifies as a United States Citizen At Birth and therefore does not need naturalization:
