I’ll read your link but I think we’re going around in circles - although I enjoy a healthy discussion - and lets face it, SCOTUS will not look at this issue because it is very confusing. I would argue that if descendants of imported slaves can claim to be natural born citizens even though no one ever took a naturalization exam, then the matter is settled.
It’s not healthy discussion. You are telling me that you read the 387+ comments in 11 minutes? And SCOTUS HAS RULED! As I and others herein have pointed out.
SCOTUS will not look at the issue because it is too confusing? Hardly.
The court is avoiding this because they don’t want to be the ones that make the call. It’s like an umpire calling someone safe at the plate, for fear of the actions of half the fans in attendance.
Unfortunately, what these umpires don’t realize is this: without someone to make the call and keep everyone playing by the same rules, ultimately the baseball game will disintegrate into anarchy, beatings and death.
Ok, i’ll quit with the baseball metaphor ;)
