In that case, the use of the word jurisdiction in the 14th Amendment is meaningless, too ambiguous to rely on. Unless we think the Constitution should be living, breathing, and adapt to the current political environment. Is that the current conservative viewpoint?

Surely "subject to the jurisdiction" must mean subject to any jurisdiction, or it is completely meaningless.
