Well, it does say that explicitly. Them arguing the sky is green doesn't make the sky actually green. If they win a court case by arguing the sky is green, that says something about the court, not about the reality.


>Well, it does say that explicitly.

No, it says this explicitly:

  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.
>Them arguing the sky is green doesn't make the sky actually green.

They're arguing that the sky is blue, which the sky actually is.

>If they win a court case by arguing the sky is green, that says something about the court, not about the reality.

If they win a court case by arguing the sky is blue, and half of the political establishment rejects that, that says something about that half of the political establishment, not about the reality.
