Was a suffrage case, not a citizenship case. Virginia Minor's citizenship was conceded up front, and never an issue in front of the court.

These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."
The part you dishonestly left out again:
"Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [p168] 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."

And in Wong Kim Ark, Justice Gray quoted that exact section to prove that his court did not believe that the children of aliens were not citizens.
no. common knowledge long before the 2008 campaign. yet not a single congressman, judge, law professor or constitutional scholar stated then or now that obama was ineligible because of WKA or minor v happersett.
Were Wong Kim Ark's parents permanent residents at his birth?

It sucks to be a Birther.
Again..you are misreading what the court is saying. It is a pattern with you in this forum.
In time we will find out that this man is a complete fraud and pulled off one of the biggest fraud on the American people ever.
that's nice but what evidence do you have now that obama is ineligible ( or were you referring to a SS# with a CT prefix as "the biggest fraud" )?
