Why do you spend so much time defending 0bama?
“Why do you spend so much time defending 0bama?”
I don’t. I’m defending the US Constitution and the principle of original intent.
What was the intent of the Founders and the ratifying states in using NBC? Was it to follow Vattel, even though our laws have never reflected Vattel’s belief that the father is supreme? Did they mean to ignore the meaning of NBC as used prior to the Constitution, and instead use the meaning found in a bad translation of Vattel 10 years later?
No court will ever find that Vattel controls citizenship, because the Founders IGNORED Vattel on citizenship and followed the practice of English common law. They used and respected Vattel, but they did NOT change their laws on citizenship to follow Vattel.
