Only problem is that this case does not say that a natural born citizen is exclusively a child born in the US of two American citizens. It says there is no doubt that such a child is natural born and then goes on to say there are possibly other categories. It does not definitively state that those other categories are not natural born - it simply does not address the question. Thus the Court did not address the status of someone born outside the US to two American citizen parents or someone born in the US whose parents were not citizens.
However, as one of the comments at the bottom of the linked article points out, real lawyers do not use Justia for legal research - they typically use Lexis or Westlaw so altering the records on this database would seem pointless.

"Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts." Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167-68 (1875).
Justia isn't just some hack-job website. They are highly respected. If someone has been doing this at Justia, then kneecapping is too good for them.
It seems to me that the crime lies in altering, and misdirecting the rule of law. What was altered is beside the point, although somebody thought natural-born citizen clause precedent was pretty damned important. Ahem. Wouldn't you agree?
Rodger, following up on my first post I'd agree that "editing" Justia raises some interesting questions. Most importantly, why would someone bother doing that when they can't modify Lexis? [Whether those modifications are actually "criminal" is a separate question. Unethical definitely. Illegal? Who knows. Depends who did it and what sort of authorizations they did or did not have.

Okay, that sounds "legal" - I'm not selling anything here, so it is whatever it is. Just like every other little thing "Obama", taken as a whole.
The O was born. That's natural. Therefore, he's a citizen.

A search on justia.com for "memory hole" - in the Orwellian sense obviously, does not pop up it's own use of the memory hole.
Apparently the motivation was to keep internet sleuths from accessing "Minor v. Happersett."
My money is on Moveon.org or, most prolly, KOS (who introduced the first fraudulent COLB).
...this is why we have "hard copy". Many of them. So the bastards have to hunt them down and fight for them before they burn them.
Hopefully, they'll be killed in the fight before there a burning.
T/W: sable ...somehow seems appropriate.
