you’re right. the Founders would never have consulted a book in publication for more then 30 years entitled ‘The Law of Nations’ when drafting the founding document for all law in their newly formed nation.

how silly of me.

you and your msnbc logic got me there.

Of course they did. But, they used Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England. Very few used Vatell and then only as a supplement to Blackstone.

So, you are correct, you are very silly, as are all of the Birther Brigade. I suspect that you got this notion from them, but their assertion does not mean that they are right.
