Lawyers for the Obama administration compared Israel’s control of Jerusalem to Russian claims over the Ukrainian territory of Crimea during oral arguments this week before the Supreme Court in a case concerning the rights of U.S. citizens to list Jerusalem as part of Israel on their passports.
U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, who is rumored to be in the running to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder, drew the comparison on Monday while he attempted to convince the Supreme Court that Jerusalem is not officially part of Israel.
The controversial case hinges around Menachem Zivotofsky, who was born in Jerusalem in 2002. Zivotofsky’s parents requested that Menachem’s U.S. passport bear “Jerusalem, Israel” as his place of birth, a request that was denied by the Obama administration on the basis of its longstanding policy to not recognize the holy city as part of Israel.
The Zivotofsky family sued following the decision and the case has been stuck in judicial limbo since. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and initial arguments by both sides were presented this week.
Obama administration lawyers argue that the case infringes on the president’s executive right to conduct foreign policy. By acknowledging Jerusalem as Israeli territory, the White House would lose its credibility in the peace process, as well as its jurisdiction to manage foreign affairs, the government maintains.

What a complete nazi idea. And dumb as doodoo.

Israel’s claim to Jerusalem as the capital of a Jewish/Hebrew state is over 2,000 years old. That would make it one of the oldest such claims of its type in history.
If any Jew supports Obama and his anti-Semitic shits after this, then they are traitors to their religion and should be identified and treated as such.
To my friends here at FR: If you have Jewish friends, please send them this article without comment. It will speak for itself.
They same would apply to your Christian family and friends. If the Arabs/Moslems get complete control of Jerusalem, goodby Christianity in the Holy Land.
Thank you for your support.
We haven't reached the point where US courts decide whether foreign governments' claims to foreign territory are legitimate.
What they're talking about is who in our own government gets to decide what we recognize and what we don't, the executive or the legislative branch.
The headline writer is just trying to stir up attention.
So they can keep it then.
Kitty, kitty, kitty! come get your leg of Democrat.
Then Jordan has no claim to western parts of Jordan, which were mandated to go to the Jews but Jordan swallowed up the land in the early wars. In original mandates, Israel was to be much larger than it is now.
Eventually, we will have to find the Neaderthals who have first claim on large parts of Europe.
If you believe in evolution you will have to give all back to green slime.
LOL, I am sure he would feel sick to his stomach.
A-f’n-men!

Pres. George W. Bush held the same opinion as the Obama administration.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I get that, but Bush didn’t pull a fraction of the nastiness on Israel that Obamatron did and does.
Does any rational being give a rat’s &&& about anything this pathetic doofus says? Who’s gonna back up his stupid claim about Jerusalem? The best use for this meddler would be to chop him into chum to feed endangered species of fish who happen to have numerous big white pointy teeth.
