It was fully conceded by both sides of the case that she was a citizen, and it was even conceded by the Supreme Court in the very first sentence of their decision.

What Virginia Minor (via counsel) actually claimed was that suffrage was "one of the privileges and immunities of her citizenship," and that since the 14th Amendment it could not be abridged by the state.

It is amazing that after three years you still have no idea what the case was about, what the arguments actually were, and what the decision concluded.

Breathtaking. Simply breathtaking.

Yeah, he must be close to the truth. Stay tuned for, oh, the next 4 years or so for the exciting step by step investigation! Each twist and turn more insidious than the last!

Oh, the things that keep people amused

Feds Say Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Violated Civil Rights | Fox News

"The report, obtained by The Associated Press ahead of its release, is a result of the U.S. Justice Department's three-year investigation of Arpaio's office amid complaints of racial profiling and a culture of bias at the agency's top level."

Isn't it funnier............ how it's always about President Obama's skin color. Not his push it on us policies, that most don't like.

How about most of us would rather the government not be telling us how to run our lives. Trying to help us with health care, that most people won't be able to afford. Like our youth, when you were 18, could you pay health insurance each month???

Minor via counsel claimed 14th Amendment citizenship. The Court rejected this claim.

Minor based her right to vote on the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment. The court rejected this because the Court determined she was not a 14th Amendment citizen claimed by counsel.


Chief Justice Waite...The fourteenth amendment did not affect the citizenship of women.


Posting a tidbit..more later. Gotta love Obama partisans when they spin..
