Was there a name listed to the case in which the Court made that ruling?
The 1875 case is Minor V. happersett which wasn't a citizenship case but a women's voting rights case.
The definition of NBC was defiend in US v Wong Kim Ark

Well, sure there was and nothing to debunk that statement has appeared in all the left leaning crap in this thread. Can you come up with some new proof that the baby daddy was a US citizen?
Nothing left leaning about this, since one only has to be born here to be a citizen (otherwise there wouldn't be an uproar about "anchor babies" now would there).

The court has never "made that ruling."

when it comes to parents citizenship status having any affect on NBC it specifically states that obama is eligible.
as far as the "vetting" process goes..... it's the same one from the last 230+ years. if you don't like it petition for a constitutional amendment.
Did the 4th Estate work as hard vetting Obama as they did Palin? I hardly think so but then they had to do good work to make sure he got in the White House.
Then we are stuck with the DOJ and others of his appointments since one house of the Congress approved them?
yes. and Congress can demand to impeach if they need to. Notice how no one in congress believes this tripe or have initiated any type of impeachment process based on their claims.
It indeed stated that Minor's case proceeded upon it. Read it.
Virginia Minor's citizenship was never even a question before the court.

How do we free those who are falsely convicted of crime when it is learned that they were falsely convicted? I guess there really is a double standard determined by which party one runs for.

SCOTUS sure thought so...
Quote:
"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. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. The words "all children" are certainly as comprehensive, when used in this connection, as "all persons," and if females are included in the last they must be in the first. That they are included in the last is not denied. In fact the whole argument of the plaintiffs proceeds upon that idea.
SCOTUS could not rule on Constitutional rights until Constitutional citizenship was established.
