Because the Supreme Court ruling actually matters and this does not.

The Supreme Court ruling also ignored the meaning.

I do not propose to say anything on that subject, except that the question of citizenship has been so fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion.

This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States.

This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.

It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.

Trump says that subject to the jurisdiction thereof means not owing allegiance to any other country.

You imply that his interpretation grants immunity to illegals, since they'll be moved into a category of persons "not subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Even though you're applying your interpretation of that phrase and ignoring his interpretation.

Well every one since then has only strengthened the ruling in WKA.

Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito are also textualists, which puts them into a corner juridically. They can always choose hypocrisy or political action (as Thomas did with the weird rambling irrelevant concurrence about special prosecutor appointment in the immunity ruling).

Mine is based in the law, history, and textualism.

His is based in partisanship and hopium. It may win in the end, if the court decides to make the Constitution a living document. I specifically reject that, though. Most on here used to as well.

You can argue how many angels dance on the head of a pin. Someone will have to actually do something whilst you write briefs and pontificate to nothingness.

Yes, we all know that ambassadors and foreign ministers are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. As he says, it applies every other class of person.

Doesn't matter, it's your logic that's flawed. How can interpreting "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" as not owing allegiance to any other country, grant immunity to illegals?

The irony of you using sophistry there is amazing.

Hint: it's not "my" interpretation.
