Trump to terminate birthright citizenship

You are factually in error. This is, really, a minor point. Just admit your error and save yourself further humiliation.

Another guideline violation.
That is rich coming from you.

And where does that say nobody is subject to the laws of the jurisdiction they are in unless and until they get caught?
It says that even if my argument about oulawry was wrong (it isn't) they still would not be "subject to" "our jurisdiction" according to its meaning in the Constitution.
 
That is your position.
Take your own advice.


Son, it's very likely that while I was actually spending the vast majority of my free time in dimly lit university law libraries actually studying this stuff ndependently, you were still having your diapers changed by your mother. I certainly don't claim to be any kind of expert. But, judging by some of the opinions you post anyway, I've probably forgotten more on the subjects of the constitution and constitutional law than you'vevyetvlearned. Stop digging.

Education is not a substitute for intelligence.
 
If you had even ten percent the legal mind you think you have, you'd see why that makes no difference.

He did not violate guidelines. You did.



And endless arrogant bluster is not a substitute for either--much less both.
So it wasn't a guideline violation to call somebody a retard?

LOL
 

And whose name do you see in his post?

But, of course, you know that. You're just doing what you always do--pure disruption. You turned two pages of rational discourse into six pages of stupid flame war, because you don't want anyone to learn the facts that were being presented.

It doesn't take a name.

That is what you do but most of this has been a discussion of legal points rather than a flame war.
