    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

    Not a lot of ambiguity there, if you consider words to mean what they mean.

      That’s your first mistake. “Fake news” wasn’t just a defection to say that’s not true. Its an erosion of the meaning of words. All they need is just a crack to wriggle in and here we are with a bad faith SCOTUS willing to roll back anything based on semantics at best.
