Ankeny reflects the accepted view of NBC in the American legal system.
Does a SCOTUS case have greater precedence over a State appeal case?

The core of Ankeny is WKA. But you knew that.

And yes - I know that birthers interpret WKA differently than Ankeny.

Scalia understands WKA:

From Scalia’s concurrence in Miller v. Albright:

The Constitution “contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization.” United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702 (1898).

Considering the lack of success birthers have had at the Supreme Court, I wouldn’t be counting on them to agree with you.
