@KellyMa76097298 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You're saying that because the drafters used the generic phrase "law of nations" they must have been relying on Vattel? You need more than that to justify your assertions. Meanwhile, back to Article II, which is what we are discussing, the better source is Blackstone.

@Suzierizzo1 Depends on the day and the hour. I’d say last man in the room/on the phone.

@Acyn @withspin Wow. I’ve never seen Welker push back like that. You go girl!

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@stephenRB4 Gosh. That would be when I was last in Cork. Not sure the date. Early 2000s?

@KellyMa76097298 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 What document?

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@KellyMa76097298 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 You are mistaken. 1) Any educated lawyer was aware of Vattel. That doesn’t mean they relied on it. 2) British law did not require a British parent. You may be thinking of the various naturalization statutes.

@rage_by72458 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 What country is that?

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@KellyMa76097298 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 Not true under common law.

@corellian32 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 Interesting point. It was precisely that issue that the USSC got wrong in the Dred Scott case. The first sentence of the 14th Amendment was meant to overrule Dred Scott.

@siom1956 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. So, you have no citation? You read the article and have no counter citation? What a maroon.

@Kaye84852 Today, I started homemade split pea soup. I got to the point when I have to cool it down to put it in the food processor. So, for now, it’s cooling in the fridge. Will finish it tomorrow. Yummy.

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 And you studied more deeply than I? Citation.

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 Citation?

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@siom1956 @Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 It is not subject to interpretation.

@LongTimeHistory This reminds me of something that happened before the ADA, etc. My sister was not allowed to walk in her First Communion procession because she wore a brace on her leg. Are we still in those dark, dark days?

[MaryBrigid McManamon @mbmcmanamon]

@Ch_az_1 @Gianl1974 The notion of birthright citizenship was recognized in the Constitution. What we refer to as a birthright citizen today used to be called a natural born citizen. See Art. II.
