Yes, John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, it is just “revisionism” to claim that the understanding of the 14th Amendment’s use of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” meant something other than; as you put it, “the power of the United States to govern those within its territory.”
So I guess Thomas J Cooley, namesake of Michigan’s School of Law, when writing his textbook “Principles of Constitutional Law” in 1880 and as revised in this 1891 edition, was engaged in revisionist history?
He was announcing a made up, revisionist understanding of the 14th Amendment, and not capturing the public or even legal understanding of that phrase?
M’kay.
