Of course they did.

You're helping to disprove your own point. Did you read what you just posed?? Where did the majority say that children born abroad of our citizens were not eligible to the Presidency?? Give us the direct quote and not a convoluted game of connect the dots.

They seemed to imply it. Their comments on that point, however, were dicta, since that wasn't Wong Kim Ark's situation.

I'm not going to go through the case again and look stuff up for you. You obviously need to read the case yourself.

The incredible thing is how grown people (at least I presume you are grown) can vehemently argue claims that simply have no basis in history or law. And insist month after month, year after year, that their fantasies are true, even though not a single court or any significant legal authority - INCLUDING CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS WHO PROMOTE THE CONSTITUTION - agrees with them.

It is mind boggling, really. Ah, but birthers with their baseless theories are "experts," and everyone else - legal experts who were direct friends of the Founders and US Supreme Court Justices included - "don't know what they're talking about."
