“That one was debunked many years ago”
So, were those cases misquoted?
Mostly misunderstood rather than misquoted. See my post #175 for an example on Minor v. Happersett.
Poor Ann Shanks and her children were deprived of her inheritance under the very particular circumstances of the treaty ending the Revolution. the NBC relevation in this case was that the court found she was citizen of South Carolina at birth and thereby became a citizen of the United States, applying the principle that the father’s citizenship descends to his children. Made moot by the 14th Amendment.
I like Venus, but for what it has to say about Admiralty Law in time of war rather than on citizenship. It certainly doesn’t make the birther case.
These three plus Wong Kim Ark are proclaimed to be irrefutable evidence of the definition of Natural Born Citizen. The 4 pillars of birther dogma are made of sugar frosting.
