Grier does point out that the two parties were independednt nations.

Where?

Time keeps slipping into the future.

Where did Justice Grier write there were two separate nations involved?

Where did Justice Grier write there were two separate nations involved?

In an earlier Supreme court case, The Santissima Trinidad, 7 Wheat. 283 (1822) [decided 12 Mar 1822], the court held that with the US declaration of neutrality 'each party is therefore deemed by us a belligerent nation.' A point reiterated by Grier when he wrote the 'parties belligerent in a public war are independent nations.'

It's not written in Greek.
