We ARE citing a case, the case that was passed by Congress on June 13, 1866 and ratified on July 9, 1868. Here goes:
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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.
Doesn't that entire block of text imply that what President Trump is doing, by ending birthright citizenship, is unconstitutional? Think about that before you write a sentence along the lines of what Conservapedia wrote.
Ok. Dude. I appreciate you being upset over this, since it's bullshit (both in that saying it wouldn't be unconstitutional and that people want to do it in the first place), but I think everyone here knows that. We're not dumbasses, and we don't get all our news from Fox, Brietbart, and InfoWars.
Conservapedia was started by a rich, far-right evangelical "Christian" specifically to spread misinformation, using the ludicrous claim that Wikipedia is biased toward the left. There's no use making sense of the site or ever expecting it to be even remotely correct or honest.
President Trump announces that he will end birthright citizenship, and, Conservapedia says, "the liberal media falsely claim that would be unconstitutional." They continue, saying "Birthright Citizenship is not in the Constitution. Anyone who thinks it is, should cite the case!"

Problem is, Conservapedia, and sites like Conservapedia, don't seem to get that.
